Queen's Quay Terminal is a condominium apartment, office and retail complex in the Harbourfront neighbourhood in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
When shipping to Toronto declined in the 1960s and 1970s, the building was bought by the Government of Canada to be repurposed along with a section of the industrial waterfront.
The Terminal Building itself was rebuilt in the 1980s with the addition of four floors of residential above the original facility, which was converted into retail and office uses.
Among its tenants was the Minister of Customs & Excise, the Canadian Doughnut Company Ltd., Elizabeth Arden and Black and Decker.
According to the renovation architect Eberhard Zeidler, the building had fallen into disrepair, its roof and concrete in poor condition.
[15] The neighbouring Direct Winters Building, built by early owners of Terminal Warehouse, became the main complex for Harbourfront's recreational activities.
[6] A rail siding along the south facade of the building was converted to a public promenade that is also the location of the docks for sight-seeing boat cruises of Toronto Harbour.
[3] The CA$60 million[3] building rebuild was developed by Olympia and York who negotiated a 99-year lease with the government.
[16] The renovations by Zeidler Roberts[17] added four floors to the original eight-floor structure, for a total of 750,000 square feet (70,000 m2) of space with 72 condominium apartments.
[18] The renovation recoated the exterior with new concrete and new glass and added new Art Deco-styled entrances for the office and residential tenants.
[19] A feature of the renovation of the interior were several new atriums including the Arcade at the south-east corner, which reaches the full height of the building.
