Residents of historic Toronto building at centre of acclaimed documentary fear development will prompt renovictions
A new documentary about the struggle to preserve a historic building in Toronto may already need a sequel as a real estate developer prepares plans to redevelop the site.
The film, Charlotte’s Castle, made its debut at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival on Sunday (and will be airing on TVO). It stars an eclectic cast of mostly upper-middle-class tenants in Toronto’s Annex neighbourhood fighting in 2020 to defend their nearly 120-year-old boutique rental building from a Dutch-based property developer with plans to renovate away the heritage charm.
