In 1888 the Alexander Street congregation experienced growth and decided to relocate and build a new church at Jarvis and Wellesley Streets.
Performers fly in from Pearson, as well the island airport on nearby Toronto Islands, and so fly over the downtown area, with staging and holding primarily from Dufferin across to Jarvis and up to Bloor.
The building is located just east of downtown at the foot of Jarvis Street at Queen's Quay.

The Merchandise Building was one of the first large redevelopment projects east of Yonge Street, and has sparked other projects in the area such as the conversion of the Toronto RCMP Building into a luxury hotel, the old CBC building on Jarvis Street into condominiums and the new headquarters of the National Ballet School, and the storied Maple Leaf Gardens into a Loblaws supermarket and Ryerson University athletic centre.
