Description

JLL presents 736 Bathurst Street, a rare 0.43-acre development site in Toronto's coveted Annex neighborhood. This court-appointed receivership sale offers 100% freehold interest in a strategic corner property steps from Bathurst Subway Station, currently housing the Randolph College for the Performing Arts.
