How Long Have You Been At Your Current Location?
We officially opened our doors in July 2020. Being one of the first residents to move into the brand new 80 Atlantic, it has been exciting to see the building take form and be part of Toronto’s first timber building!

How Has The Neighborhood Changed Around You In The Time? What Are You Most Excited About?
We have seen some really great businesses open up in the last year from Arvo, TikTok and Canvas. We can't wait for everything to open up again to really experience Liberty Village thrive. We are especially excited about getting back to hosting our own Spaces events and making some great partnerships with our neighbours!

What's The Best Time To Visit Your Neighborhood?
Summer! The vibrancy of Liberty Village really comes out when the weather gets warmer and everyone is out walking and enjoying the patios, biking to the lakeshore. Nothing beats walking towards the water to cheer on the TFC or see your favourite band play on the lawn of Budweiser stage.

Go-to Food Spot?
BurgerDrops has become a fast favourite for many of our members, their burgers are amazing! Pro tip: There is no such thing as too much drop sauce.
We were so excited to learn they were opening up their first official storefront after hosting BurgerDrops pop ups at our SPACES Queen West location.

 3 Best Things About Working In Your Neighborhood?
1. Community - It truly does take a village! There is such a strong community between businesses and residents in the neighbourhood. Now more than ever supporting local is so important - and it makes it easy to do with so many great people behind the shops and restaurants.

2. Convenience, It has it all! With such a work/live community everything is so accessible. From great restaurants and groceries to stadiums and galleries that are all walking distance, it's easy to get out and explore.

3. Culture, the historic charm of old industrial buildings throughout Liberty Village is a rare find in a city of tall towers. The brick and beam buildings give each space a unique feel
