Will heritage stop housing development in the Annex?

November 1, 2025

In the late 1960s, the urbanist Jane Jacobs bought a cavernous rooming house on Toronto’s Albany Avenue. She and her husband – a freelance writer and a young architect – moved their family into the Bohemian Annex.

Forty years later, the house sold for $850,000 and got renovated. It’s now worth millions, and sports an Audi SUV in the driveway. The building remains; everything else has changed.
