Yorkville is a district in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, well known for its shopping. Yorkville has become one of Canada's most sought after condo neighbourhoods. It is a former village, in central Toronto. The boundary is Bloor Street to the south, Davenport Road to the north, Yonge Street to the east and Avenue Road to the west, and is considered part of the 'The Annex' neighbourhood officially. It is recognized as one of Canada's most exclusive shopping districts boasting the infamous mink mile.

Yorkville now commands rents of $400 per square foot, making it the third most expensive retail space in North America. In 2015, Bloor St. was named the seventh most expensive shopping street in the world by Fortune Magazine, claiming tenants can pull in $2,500 to $6,500 per square foot in sales.

The decadence of the ’80s transformed this former hippie haven (remember the Riverboat?) into the posh area of today. Incorporated in 1853, it was the first village annexed by the City of Toronto (in 1883), and its original coat of arms graces the historic fire hall at 34 Yorkville. From brand-name boutiques lining Bloor (Gucci, Prada) to the gourmet mecca south of Summerhill (the Five Thieves and flagship LCBO), platinum cards get a workout at both ends of the ’hood. And while its days as ground zero for TIFF are numbered, the luxe hotels will always draw A-list celebs and affluent tourists. Condominiums seem to multiply by mitosis and extend all the way to beautiful Ramsden Park, where they give way to lovingly restored homes on leafy side streets.

New condos in Yorkville offer some of the priciest real estate in the city. Most condos are over $1,000 per square foot and can be as expensive as $3,5000 per suare foot (2017).
