Venue Setting

Originally built as a Department store 1907 with an addition in 1910, the Burroughes is continually defining Queen Street West as the tallest building on this trendy stretch. The Burroughes was not always known as such. Only until recently, once Queen Street Partners purchased and repositioned the property, did the name emerge. After much thoughtful research and consideration did what we celebrate today become a recognized brand. The building has been expertly renovated to carefully preserve its priceless character features. With restored elevators, wood details and exposed brick the property is like no other in the city. Described as a hidden gem by the real estate investment community, while taste makers simply comment that only those who should know, know about the property.

39 of the Coolest Warehouse Venues Around the World
Warehouses typically make for excellent event spaces, as they tend to be known for their high ceilings, wide-open space, big windows, and textural details. Bonus points for warehouses with an interesting story or cool history behind them, as these are the kinds of venues that present a real sense of place for partygoers. We’ve taken a tour of the best industrial spaces around the world and we’re bringing you everything from a warehouse built on a farm in West Australia to an industrial loft space fit for a fashion shoot in NYC. Whatever your warehouse style, we’ve got you covered. Reporter: Alyssa Brown
