Fairmont did plan a new hotel south of the Royal York a few years ago (current site of the new Brookfield building I believe) but it was eventually scrapped.
...not to mention Hazelton Lanes, the Windsor Arms and numerous other condos and apartments around Yorkville.
If you work in the financial district this is much more convenient than Yorkville.
why not some luxury hotels in the y+e or y+st c area? Tons of money at those nodes, arguably just as interesting--I could see room for 2 major luxury hotels at each of these intersections. Then there's the beach and high park neighbourhoods--both underserved by luxury hotels yet both extremely affluent (doesn't mean these areas need 77 floor towers but a few boutique hotels here and there would be nice.)
I myself am puzzled why anyone would pay $1 million plus to live@U+Adel when just a short 5 minute drive up to Bloor St a nice Admiral Rd house can be had for similar money. I suspect most buyers are international (and clueless--did anyone read Eric Reguly's rant in Friday's Globe?) business types unable to figure out where the "real" Toronto truly is to be found. (@Runnymede and Annette says the junctionist in me
is it possible that they might go right to construction for the whole tower?
You guys are mean to 905'ers.
They can't help it if they can't afford to live in Toronto
