A Landmark Revitalized: Yonge Sheppard Centre Wins International TOBY Award
We are delighted to announce that the Yonge Sheppard Centre has received the 2023 International TOBY Award in the Renovated Building category.

Situated at the vibrant intersection of Yonge Street and Sheppard Avenue, the Yonge Sheppard Centre has emerged as a groundbreaking mixed-use development, that is captivating with its impressive 35-story residential tower and revamped retail design.
