Stackt, a retail, food, and beverage hub made up of 120 new and reclaimed shipping containers, opened its doors today at a 2-acre city-owned lot near Front and Bathurst streets.
In a news release issued by the company on Wednesday, stackt said the market features containers that provide “diverse” retail and cultural offerings, as well as “innovative food and beverage experiences.” Some of the businesses leasing space at stackt include Belgian Moon Brewery, BMO, Endy, and Donut Monster."The vision for stackt developed while I was living in the area and noticed the lack of an interactive public space, which encourages community connection and engagement," Matt Rubinoff, the founder of stackt, said in a written statement.
"With stackt we are developing a community and cultural hub, which will provide the necessary space for Torontonians to gather, connect and discover.”Photos Donut Monster is one of the businesses leasing space at stackt, located near the city's Fort York neighbourhood.

If they can bring in shipping containers for consumerist purposes, they could bring them in and convert them to living quarters.
Cash grab? Consumerism?

Isn't this where the homeless people were living. And if it's, why not build something for homeless instead. They seem to work in some US States.
