The St. Lawrence Market District is a public asset managed by the City of Toronto’s Corporate Real Estate Management Division. The District area is bound by King Street to the North, Market Street to the West, Wilton Street to the South and Jarvis Street to the East. It comprises three buildings: the St. Lawrence Hall, the St. Lawrence Market North and the South St. Lawrence Market. Market Lane Park and the abutting pedestrian right-of-way are also part of the District. The St. Lawrence Market Precinct Advisory Committee is an advocate for the Market District.
The South Market, the main Market building, is open six days a week and contains more than 60 specialty vendors known for the variety and freshness of their fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, grains, baked goods and dairy products, as well as for the uniqueness of the food and non-food items for sale. The North Market is primarily known for its Saturday Farmers’ Market, has been redeveloped to improve the utility of the St. Lawrence Market District for the community, vendors, visitors and shoppers, while contributing to the economic development of the area.

The 2023-2027 St. Lawrence Market Complex Strategic Plan presents a collective vision for the District that reflects and activates the ideas and values of the City of Toronto, the St. Lawrence Market Precinct Advisory Committee, current tenants, customers and visitors.
The St. Lawrence Market Complex, which includes St. Lawrence Hall and the North and South Market buildings, has served as a City landmark for more than 200 years and remains one of the most valuable historical sites in Toronto.
The North Market building was underutilized and did not maximize the full potential of the St. Lawrence Market Complex. The redevelopment of the North Market building improves the utility of the St. Lawrence Market Complex for vendors, visitors and shoppers, while contributing to the economic development of the area.
