Downtown Yonge BIA

Yonge Street, famous as the longest street in the world and boasting some of the highest foot traffic in the city, runs through the core of the Downtown Yonge BIA, established in 2001. As the heart of Toronto, Downtown Yonge is the place to find some of the best business, shopping and entertainment opportunities in the world. The area is bound on the south by Richmond Street, on the north by Grosvenor and Alexander Streets, on the west by Bay Street, and on the east by parts of Victoria, Bond and Church Streets.

Within the area you’ll find several tourist destinations, as well as more than 600 retail stores, 150 bars and restaurants, and eight hotels. Serviced by three subway stations, Queen, Dundas, and College, and offering ample parking, Downtown Yonge is dense with retail and office establishments including the Toronto Eaton Centre, Atrium on Bay, 10 Dundas East, and College Park, and it is teeming with developments and public spaces like Yonge-Dundas Square and Bell Trinity Square. Downtown Yonge is also home to the Canon Theatre, Elgin & Winter Garden Theatre Centre, Massey Hall, several historic buildings and unique parkettes.

Come and join in the excitement that is Downtown Yonge!
