299 Queen Street West: A Toronto Landmark in Transition

Anjo takes us on a nostalgic journey in his latest documentary, 299 Queen Street West: A Toronto Landmark in Transition. This iconic building, once the beating heart of Toronto’s cultural and media scene, is now facing an uncertain future.

A Legacy of Reinvention

From its beginnings as a Methodist publishing house in 1913 to its days as the home of MuchMusic and CP24, 299 Queen Street West has always been a hub of transformation. Anjo reflects on its evolution, from hosting electric live performances by Coldplay and Britney Spears to becoming Toronto’s trusted source for breaking news and weather.

A Personal Connection

For Anjo, this building isn’t just an address—it’s a part of his youth. He recalls pressing his face against the glass of MuchMusic’s studio as a teenager, hoping to catch a glimpse of his favorite bands. Whether it was Electric Circus or CP24’s 24/7 broadcasts, the building became a symbol of connection to the city’s rhythm and energy.

What’s Next for 299 Queen?

Now, as CP24 moves to Scarborough and the building’s role in Toronto’s media landscape changes, Anjo ponders its future. Will it continue to reinvent itself? Or will it fade into history like so many other Queen Street West landmarks?

The Soul of Toronto

This documentary is more than a story about a building—it’s a reflection on the changing face of Toronto. Anjo leaves us with an introspective question: If 299 Queen Street West were to disappear, what would that mean for the soul of the city?
