You'll have to wait until 2012, but there'll be quite a swanky new hotel/spa/condo project popping up at Richmond and John - the Gansevoort Toronto. And none too soon; currently any attempt at counting off great places to stay in Toronto invariably only takes one hand (and you probably won't need your pinkie).
This project, from looks alone, is on my radar - I love the fact that it's trying to stand out and not disappear into the blah that marks most Toronto towers. This is the third Gansevoort in the works; NYC was the first in the uber-fashionable Meatpacking District, followed up by Miami, and now Toronto. Like the others, the rooftop will feature a heated pool and bar. Hmmm, Prince played a secret rooftop concert at the NYC location recently, I wonder what they have in mind for here?
