The neighbourhood

The office is in suite 1400 at 10 King Street East, at Yonge Street, on the eastern edge of Toronto's Financial District. King Street was one of the streets laid out in the original 1793 plan for the town of York, and it became early Toronto's main commercial street after Market Square went up at King and Jarvis in 1803. A real estate and business practice on King Street today sits on a stretch of the city with a long commercial history.
