Paul Oberman Walk 1957-2011
Paul Oberman was a heritage preservationist, real estate developer and visionary city-builder who passionately believed and demonstrated that heritage buildings could be restored through adaptive reuse and combined with contemporary architecture to enrich the urban landscape. His dream of transforming Market Street into a landmark - a pedestrian friendly streetscape with animated patios in restored historic buildings - was his final legacy to the historic St. Lawrence neighbourhood.
