- $44,480 / year
Tucked discreetly behind Yonge Street, 18 Gloucester Lane is a building of rare architectural character and meaningful cultural history. Built in 1912 and thoughtfully modernized, this five-storey buff brick building remains one of Toronto's most evocative and understated landmarks, offering discretion, cultural provenance and centrality. Behind its timeless façade lies over 9,700 sq ft of space shaped by exposed brick and beam, arched windows and generous industrial proportions. For over four decades, the building was the production headquarters for Norman Jewison - one of Canada's most internationally acclaimed filmmakers. From within these walls, major cinematic works were developed, produced and edited. And the building continues to carry that quiet sense of intention and purpose.Once production workspaces, the lower four floors now function as self-contained modernized offices with kitchenettes, washrooms and elevator access on each level, operating seamlessly as a boutique investment. Above, the building's essence reveals itself in the fifth floor penthouse residence - Jewison's former pied-à-terre. Retaining its cinematic atmosphere, the main level features a generous living salon area anchored by a herringbone brick fireplace, an open office, full kitchen and a concealed private office. A hidden staircase leads to a half-storey, where the bedroom, dressing room and bathroom form a private retreat. Positioned within the Historic Yonge Street Heritage Conservation District, 18 Gloucester Lane invites stewardship. Its architecture, history and placement within the city's cultural fabric offer the chance to continue a legacy of meaning and significance. The building's scale, discretion and location invite more possibilities: continue as a boutique investment property, adapt to a private family office or foundation, a design studio or gallery, or a fully integrated live/work private residence. A building shaped by its past, ready for its next chapter.

School boundaries this address is inside
Where these boundaries come from, and what they are worth
A school boundary is the area a board draws around a school. An address inside several of them is normal — boards publish a separate boundary per program, so regular track, French immersion and specialist programs each have their own.
Toronto. Read from the TDSB’s own School Search Map, one school at a time. The board states that the lines on that map are approximate and that the schools serving an individual address must be confirmed against its own address lookup — so the outline here shows you roughly where a boundary runs, and the board answers whether a particular house is in it. The map covers home schools only: French Immersion, gifted and the other optional programs have their own boundaries and their own admission rules, and are not shown.
Homula cannot tell you which school a child will attend. Boards move boundaries, hold students at capacity, cap programs and grant exceptions, and none of that is in any published file. The board is the only authority: TDSB Find Your School.
Sources: TDSB School Search Map — the board states these lines are approximate and that individual addresses must be confirmed against its own lookup.

How the rating is calculated
EQAO — Ontario’s testing agency — publishes, for each school, the percentage of students meeting the provincial standard in Grade 3 and Grade 6 reading, writing and mathematics. The rating is the average of those percentages divided by ten. A school where 72% of students met the standard rates 7.2 out of 10.
Nothing is weighted or adjusted, and schools are not ranked against each other. Where EQAO withholds a result to protect the privacy of a small group of students, that measure is left out rather than counted as zero — so a rating built on fewer than six measures says so.
What it does not measure. It is one year of standardised testing in three subjects. It says nothing about teaching, programs, or whether a school suits a particular child, and it tracks neighbourhood household income closely enough that it partly measures the neighbourhood rather than the school. Treat it as one figure among many.

If you rented it out
How this is calculated, and what it leaves out
Canadian fixed-rate mortgages compound semi-annually, not monthly, so the monthly rate here is (1 + rate/2)1/6 − 1. Most calculators use rate ÷ 12, which is the American convention and overstates the payment by tens of dollars a month.
Below 20% down, default insurance is mandatory and is added to the loan rather than paid at closing: 2.80% at 85% loan-to-value, 3.10% at 90%, 4.00% at 95%. It is unavailable at or above $1.5M, which is why 20% is a hard floor there.
Not included: vacancy, property management, capital repairs, income tax, and the fact that a lender qualifies you at a stress-test rate rather than the one you are quoted. This is arithmetic on the numbers above, not a mortgage approval or an opinion of what you can afford.

City planning file →What these are
These are applications made to the City — a proposal to build something, not a decision that it will be built. Many are refused, withdrawn, reduced, or approved and then left for years. The status shown is the one the City last recorded, and each entry links to the City’s own file, which is the authoritative record.
Whether a nearby development is welcome depends on what you want from a street, so this panel reports what has been applied for and leaves the judgement to you.
