A new food market has opened at the Well mixed-use development in downtown Toronto.

Located at 486 Front Street, the Wellington Market at the Well contains 900 seats and can accommodate 3,400 people. The Well is a joint-venture between Toronto-based RioCan REIT and Allied Properties REIT.

The food market’s opening marks the mixed-use development project’s completion. The 70,000-square-foot culinary market’s anchor tenants include Japadog, which opened its first Toronto location, Rosie’s Burgers and La Cubana, which specializes in Cuban cuisine.

“Creating the ideal mix of merchants resulted from a thoughtful, curated, and strategic process informed by extensive culinary research and outreach beyond Toronto’s borders,” says Oliver Harrison, RioCan’s senior vice-president of leasing and tenant experience, in a news release. “This collection of food options cannot be found under one roof anywhere in the city. It pays tribute to the city’s rich culinary history and offers an inspiring balance of new and well-known staples to its food scene.”

The food market is fully liquor-licensed; its drinking establishments include the Pier bar.

The Well contains 1.2 million sf office space and 320,000 square feet of retail and food service. The development also has 1,700 residential units spread throughout six purpose-built rental and condominium buildings.

The Well officially opened in November 2023. The Wellington Market was designed by Toronto-based GPA Architects.
