DESCRIPTION

The Fort Common District is a 3,000 square foot adaptive reuse project featuring an office building and a series of urban street front retail bays surrounding a revitalized carriage yard courtyard (The Fort Common). Since 2012, the block has undergone a series of renovations, including the award-winning revitalization and restoration of 1017-1019 Blanshard Street and 1001 Blanshard Street, and is now home to a vibrant mix of local and multi-national restaurant and retail tenants.

The Fort Common courtyard was designed to serve as a community venue for festivals, events, and restaurant seating. It has served as a venue for community fundraisers, political campaign launches, and festivals. It was also the location of the local Food EcoDistrict community gardens, which provide locally grown food for use by neighbouring restaurants. 

In the summer of 2017 we began renting the Fort Common out for private events, including weddings. For more information, please visit our events page.

During the summer, the Fort Common is open as public patio seating and is the perfect spot to enjoy a summer lunch in the sunshine! Check out our instagram for hours and updates.
