The Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Toronto is a complex consisting of a 204-metre, 55-story residential condominium tower and a 125-meter, 30-storey hotel tower located in the Yorkville district in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, which opened on October 5, 2012. Located at 60 Yorkville Avenue, at its intersection with Bay Street, the complex is one block east of the previous Four Seasons Hotel Toronto at 21 Avenue Road.
The complex was designed by Peter Clewes of architectsAlliance, and developed by Menkes Development Inc. The taller tower is the 10th tallest building in Toronto, but by 2015 its position fell to 15th as other taller buildings were completed. The location had previously been the Bay Ford Lincoln dealership and next door to Toronto Fire Services Station 312.
The penthouse, which claims the entire 55th-floor of the West Residence, sold for C$28 million, and is the most expensive condominium sold in Canada.
The 55-floor complex contains 259 hotel rooms and 210 private condo suites. It offers a two-storey spa, Café Boulud and bar by international restaurateur and Chef Daniel Boulud, and glass-enclosed event spaces. It was designed by architectsAlliance, with Page and Steele as Architect of Record. The project was developed by Bay-Yorkville Developments Ltd., a joint venture of Alcion Ventures, LP, Menkes Developments and Lifetime Homes, and uses the "Four Seasons" trademark under licence.[2]
Before the ribbon cutting ceremony, Four Seasons chairman and founder Isadore Sharp proclaimed of the new location as "...in a category by itself, a true Four Seasons in our hometown, our flagship hotel. It is a landmark development for the city of Toronto". [3]
There have been several previous Four Seasons properties at other locations in Toronto.
The first Four Seasons-operated hotel in Toronto was the Four Seasons Motor Hotel, opened in 1961 at 415 Jarvis Street near Carlton. Built by architect Peter Dickinson, it operated as a motor inn before it was demolished and replaced by townhouses.
