York Heritage Properties acquires, renovates, retrofits and
manages architecturally interesting older buildings in Toronto
to provide a dignified, sophisticated alternative to costly,
conventional office space. For detailed information, view the York Heritage Profile

The Toronto Carpet Factory and the York Liberty buildings in
Liberty Village have acquired an international reputation for the
adaptive reuse of historical complexes. The York Heritage designers
have attempted to create space that is youthful, exhilarating and
attractive to a new corporate culture that requires its office
accommodation to be a resource rather than merely four walls to
house employees and equipment.
The company is the winner of many heritage and community awards,
including an Award of Merit from Heritage Toronto for its ongoing
commitment to the preservation and adaptive re-use of historical properties,
a Certificate of Building Excellence in the Historical Building
category from the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) for
its Toronto Carpet Factory project, and a Business Recognition Award
from the City of Toronto. In addition, two restoration projects
completed by York Heritage have received specific Awards of Merit
from Heritage Toronto.
Led by Michael Cruickshank and Robert Eisenberg, York Heritage Properties
is very much a reflection of its principals' long-time enthusiasm for,
and commitment to, the preservation of Toronto's rich architectural
heritage. Michael and Robert have co-founded two Business Improvement
Areas: the St. Lawrence BIA and the Liberty Village BIA. Michael
Cruickshank is also President of Citizens for Old Town, the non-profit
community organization dedicated to the heritage-based revitalization
of the oldest area of the City. Both Michael and Robert remain very
involved in the communities they've helped to establish.
