736 Bathurst Street
-
736 Bathurst Street is located one block away from Bloor St., adjacent to Mirvish Village. The property is steps from Bathurst subway station, situated at the center of the Bathurst Station Protected Major Transit Station Area (PMTSA) that was delineated in 2023. This earmarks the property for significant intensification, and high redevelopment potential.
The property is within walking distance from the University of Toronto, in the vibrant Annex neighbourhood. The Annex is a lively and diverse area known for its cafes, bookstores, bars and restaurants. Just south of the property is Harbord Village, one of Toronto’s premiere culinary destinations.

Since first acquiring an interest in the property in 2010, ONE Development has invested in the restoration, revitalization and maintenance of the building. The theatre is currently home to the Randolph Academy for the Performing Arts, a not-for-profit educational institution providing performing arts training to young artists.
ONE Development understands the need for creating a greater supply of housing to address Toronto’s affordability crisis, especially around transit hubs in order to reduce harm to the environment. Any future redevelopment of this property would integrate the old with the new in innovative ways, to assist with much needed relief to Toronto’s housing supply needs while also respecting the legacy of the property.

Built in 1888, this Gothic Revival building was originally used as a church but was converted into a theatre in 1968. The site is an example of an effective adaptive reuse of a legacy building. Investment by ONE Development has funded key upgrades, including restoring its historical integrity, energy saving measures, and enhancing its exterior landscape. Any future redevelopment of the property by ONE Development would aim for LEED Certification.
