What attracted us to this project in the first place was its central location, right across from a city park, with two strong frontages on Adelaide Street and on Morrison,” says Peter Freed. “So we used that natural L-shape as a stepping-off point for the building’s unique design.”

Set on a picturesque, rolling 850-acre site which is slightly larger than New York’s Central Park, Freed saw the vast potential of the property, which is located across the street from the new Muskoka Wharf and abuts a 2000 acre conservation area on its south boundary.

Designed by acclaimed course architect Doug Carrick and voted best new course in Canada, the Muskoka Bay Club boasts a 20,000 square foot clubhouse with an infinity pool built on a 100 foot cliff overlooking the first fairway.

“We kept the course largely separated from residential development, so that it would have a natural feel to the environment,” says Peter Freed, who designed the club as a fine-boned collection of contemporary villas rather than the traditional, and run-of-the-mill Muskoka architectural offering.

Tucker High-Rise is the construction company responsible for 32 Davenport.

Located on Davenport just west of Yonge, units in The Yorkville will be priced at less than $300,000, with features like rooftop patios, distinctive building design, and a temperature controlled wine cellar.

Units will range in size from a 544 square foot one bedroom to a 948 square foot two bedroom with a den – see floorplans below.

Considering the desirability and prestige of this location, it’s likely the building will sell out quickly. Therefore, if you’re interested in learning more, you’re strongly advised to contact us so that we can forward information to you as it becomes availlable. The Yorkville Condominiums, the latest condo to launch in the neighbourhood!  Located at 32 Davenport Rd, the building will be approx. 31 storeys and will be home to 238 units.

The bold design he’s incorporated into The Yorkville are a much needed change for the traditional box and glass design seen throughout the City!

The developer intends to maintain contact with our building throughout the excavation and construction process. They are mindful of some problems created by the current work where The Florian will be, and they want to assure us that they intend to make this as neighbourly an undertaking as possible.

The 28-storey condominium building, including a 4-storey podium, 166 units and 165 parking spots in five underground levels, accessible from McMurrich Street, was approved by City Council in October 2009.

The developer is hoping to remove the townhouses just north of Moriyama, where their sales office will be situated, in March-April 2010 (licenses pending) and the sales office will open later in 2010.
The Moriyama-Teshima offices will be vacated at the end of July 2010, at which time the developer is hoping to continue construction.

The Windsor Arms Residences

Built in 1927, the Windsor Arms became synonymous with luxury and exquisite service. Closed in 1991, developer George Friedmann bought the property in 1995 and restored the old and elegant Windsor Arms while incorporating new fixtures, modern conveniences and grand condominium residences. Officially designated a historic property, the Neo-Gothic original exterior underwent reconstruction with the original stained glass and entrance way now complemented by pointed arches and a crenellated parapet.

There are 28 rooms in the hotel, ranging from 500 to 1,500 square feet. The Windsor Arms was never just a place to rest a weary head. In its former life the hotel was known for its restaurants and as a place to be seen . It’s home to the Courtyard Cafe featuring traditional French cuisine, an intimate Tea Room, Toronto’s only caviar and Champagne lounge and Club 22, once a well-known Toronto nightspot. The incarnation of the 22 has a dance floor, stand-up bar and ventilated cigar room. The Windsor Arms also features a spa, with exercise machines and a swimming pool with a poolside fireplace. The facility also has 25 condominium suites.

Ritz Carlton

CHEVY CHASE, Md. – The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C., of Chevy Chase, MD. and Graywood Developments Ltd. of Toronto announced they will build a 53-story luxury hotel and condominium residence in downtown Toronto. The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto and The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto will be a $300 million development located on the south side of Wellington Street, between Simcoe and John Streets.

The 700,000 sq. ft. facility features a five-star hotel with 267 rooms and 135 condominium residences in a stately, elegant point tower destined to become a city landmark.

“This is the first Ritz-Carlton combined hotel and condominium residence in Canada and will be the only Toronto hotel to offer The Ritz-Carlton level of luxury and service,” said Michael Beckley, vice-president of development for Marriott International Inc., the parent company of The Ritz-Carlton.

The project will generate approximately 1,500 construction jobs and more than 500 permanent, full-time jobs. Zoning for the development is in place. Construction is scheduled to start in 2006 and be completed in 2009. A presentation centre for the condominium residences will open this September.

Toronto Mayor David Miller said, “The arrival of Toronto’s first five-star hotel is another sign of our city’s renaissance. Not only will this hotel create hundreds of jobs, it will also help attract visitors from around the world to Toronto.”

“There is simply no building of this caliber in the city. The building will change the face of Toronto by its internationally inspired design,” said Garnet Watchorn, President of Graywood Developments Ltd.

The project’s architecture is a collaboration between New York-based, Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) Associates Architects and Planners and Toronto-based, Page + Steeles Architects Planners. The building’s interior spaces will be designed by HBA/Hirsch Bedner Associates Design Consultants’ Atlanta office and Babey Moulton Jue and Booth of San Francisco.

Combining classic and contemporary architectural elements throughout, the building has three main components. The tower will rise out of a five-level podium. Storys six to 20 will contain luxuriously appointed rooms and facilities for hotel guests. Condominium residences will be located on storeys 22 to 52, with a private lobby and amenity centre for residents on the 21st and 22nd storeys.

At story 26, the tower’s south wall begins to slope outward, forming an arresting architectural feature designed to visually compliment the sweeping curves of Roy Thomson Hall across the street.

The five-story podium at the tower’s base features a largely glass exterior designed to create a sense of interaction between the street and the lobby. The podium will also hold two large ballrooms, fine-dining restaurants, conference and meeting facilities to attract high-end conference and meeting business. The grand ballroom will host leading social events and functions.

In addition, the top level of the podium will house a world class 23,000 sq. ft. spa, which will be Toronto’s largest and most luxurious.

Most condominium residences will be one, two and three bedroom suites ranging from 2,000 to over 3,000 sq. ft. There are also a few smaller one bedroom pied-a-terres in the 1,300 to 1,700 sq. ft. range.

Suites will be priced from the $700,000s to over $8 million, the exception being the top penthouse. Located on the 52nd floor, it will be a palatial 10,920 sq. ft., for approximately $11 million.

“The opportunity for condominium owners to live above and share facilities and services with a five-star Ritz-Carlton hotel is unprecedented in Toronto,” said Pat Baker, CEO, Baker Real Estate Corp.
