Working in Queen West
Employment Landscape
In the Queen West neighbourhood of Toronto, job seekers face a unique employment environment shaped by its evolving mix of retail, hospitality, real estate development, and creative services. The area is seeing significant real estate activity with Carttera’s acquisition and revised proposal for a 27‑storey rental tower at 1266 Queen Street West, pivoting from condos to rentals to align with policy incentives—a sign of construction‑related job opportunities coming mid‑2026. Creative and independent retail continues to struggle under pressure from rising rents, as West Queen West has lost a large portion of its art galleries over the past decade due to gentrification. On the other hand, food and beverage operators continue to renew presence: longstanding neighbourhood staples and newcomers such as Vero Sandwich Co., Backdoor sneaker reselling, and Shawarma Royale have opened or relocated on Queen West in early to mid‑2025. Meanwhile, residential and commercial redevelopment projects including the nearby Parkdale Hub’s 175‑unit rental development mean that supporting services, trades, and construction roles remain in demand. Job seekers will encounter a competitive climate, especially for creative or retail roles, alongside steady opportunities in hospitality, food service, and construction/trades as redevelopment continues.

Hiring Patterns
Hiring is firming in construction and property‑related sectors as multiple high‑rise rental developments move toward permitting and construction phases. Food and beverage employers continue to refresh and open new outlets, though independent galleries and specialty retailers remain under strain from high rents. The creative retail sector is contracting, while support services around new developments and hospitality remain steady.
"Finding work here means being real: shops and galleries are closing, but if you can swing construction, hospitality, or property work, you may find your footing in Queen West."
