A canopy ran over Front Street connecting the north and south markets until it was removed in 1954.

The Sunday Antique Market operated weekly for 31 years until 2022 when the owner relocated it to Small Arms Munitions Building (Arsenal Lands) at Lakeshore Park in Mississauga, Ontario in protest of the city's decision to close Market Street to vehicular traffic.

[5][6] There is also an outdoor Christmas trees and holiday green market offered daily from mid-November to December 24.

[7] In the early 2000s, the City of Toronto did a review of the Market's operations and determined that the North building would have to be replaced.

On June 7, 2010, then-Mayor David Miller announced the winners of the design competition for a building to replace the existing North Market.

The winning design was by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners in a joint venture with Adamson Associates.

[12] The 1968 building was slated to be demolished late 2010, but City Council balked at the escalating cost of the project.

[15] The team led by Peter Popkin, senior archaeologist with Golder Associates, found various artefacts, including knives, ceramics and butchers’ hooks.

[17] On May 15, 2019, City Council approved the awarding of a contract for construction to Buttcon Limited / The Atlas Corporation Joint Venture.

[19] During the construction of the new building, the Saturday and Sunday North Market vendors are selling from a location (Green P parking lot) one block south on the Esplanade.

[2] The vendors vacated the North building in June 2015 to allow for demolition and re-development of a new market structure.
