Visit us on Saturday, May 27th, when 401 Richmond opens the doors for Doors Open Toronto!
401 welcomes guests to explore the building and the community of tenants, and observe the Three “C”s – community, culture, and commerce – at work. Join a guided tour or wander freely to the galleries, shops, open studios and more! Fuel your visit with refreshments from our cafe, and take in our green rooftop and inner courtyard. Admission is free!
Doors Open Toronto provides an opportunity to see inside some of Toronto’s most architecturally, historically, culturally and socially significant buildings across the city.
