The History of the West Village site

The Peters Ice Cream Factory and its 1920s brick warehouse are the centrepiece of West Village and the heart of West End.

When Peters-Arctic Delicacy Co. opened its doors on Boundary Street in 1928, it set in motion nearly seven decades of employment that shaped the character of West End.

After the closure of the factory in 1996 the site was used for warehousing and office space, studios and various events.

However during this time, the Ice Cream Factory fell into a state of disrepair, and suffered damage from a fire in 2013.

These buildings will be carefully restored to their former glory and provide opportunity for a variety of uses including a fresh food marketplace, dining and entertainment.
