Spring & Co. Open Houses Transformed Into Local Business Marketplaces

Where our Toronto properties for sale become pop-up shops for local entrepreneurs

What is Spring & Co.?

Spring (that us, The Spring Team) & Co (that’s you).

It’s our branded pop-up event series, designed to bring together local entrepreneurs, makers, and service providers into a fresh, engaging space inside some of our listings. These are currently active homes for sale, and they’re vacant, so why not take advantage of this to bring our communities together when it feels like everything is breaking?

Read on to learn all about it. Or skip right to the vendor application form, or read on and use the links below 🙂

Who Should Pop Up at the Spring & Co. Open House?

If you’ve got a business—big, small, side hustle, or full-time—and you can set up a solid-looking table with something awesome to offer, you should probably be a vendor at Spring & Co.

We’re bringing together local businesses of all kinds—from handmade goods and boutique retail to packaged food, wellness products, creative services, and anything else people get excited about. Whether you run things out of your house, an online shop, or a full-fledged storefront, as long as you’ve got something great to showcase and enough stock to make a table look good, you’re in the right place.

And yeah, it’s totally free. No fees, no gimmicks—just a cool way to get in front of new customers in a completely different kind of setting.

We’re keeping it small and curated, so every vendor gets attention. Whether you’re a side hustler, a full-fledged business, or somewhere in between, this is an easy, no-cost way to get your brand in front of people.

Each pop-up is a one-day-only event, converting a home-for-sale into a dynamic, interactive marketplace.

Why We Created This Experience

Toronto’s real estate landscape has shifted. Properties aren’t moving as quickly as before, and conventional open houses aren’t generating the same interest they once did. We recognized an opportunity to approach things differently. Rather than simply waiting for potential buyers, Spring & Co. attracts people through the door—not just to view a home, but to experience a space from a fresh perspective. Whether you’re a vendor wanting to showcase your brand or a local resident who enjoys discovering new finds, this event caters to you. Perhaps you might connect with the property itself, too.

Upcoming Spring & Co. Events

Each event occurs inside a carefully selected property with adequate space to host vendors while providing an engaging atmosphere.

Next Event: March 15th, 2025 (future dates are variable. Weeknights and Weekends)
Location: 150 Logan Ave TH 131 (follow the signs) & 1159 Davenport Rd
Featured Vendors: That’s you so sign up below 🙂
