Freed Developments has plans to construct a 60-plus storey skyscraper in Toronto complete with 100 five star luxury hotel rooms and 400 luxury condominiums that range from 270 to more than 9,800 square feet.
Other features include a 62nd floor Sky Lobby, with a grand staircase leading to a 63rd floor restaurant and bar, a boutique spa, terrace and outdoor garden, private spaces for entertaining and dining, a fitness and yoga studio, a private theatre room, valet parking and a full-service concierge.
Freed Hotel and Residences will also feature a second-floor 10,000-square-foot Katsuya Restaurant from Sam Nazarian’s Disruptive Group by sbe, which will be the first one in Canada. There are plans to open in Fall 2028 with a menu curated by Master Sushi Chef Katsuya Uechi, who merges the elegance of Japanese cuisine with modern techniques and flavours.
Freed’s President Corey Shepherd said the project “will be like living in a piece of modern art.”
Located at Adelaide and Duncan streets, west of University, the tower will feature views of Lake Ontario and artwork by artist Takashi Murakami’s.
The art piece, Together with the Flower Parent and Child, will be featured prominently in the lobby. Murakami is known for making groundbreaking contributions to contemporary visual culture.
Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture have designed the skyscraper. The firm is known for creating the next world’s tallest skyscraper Jeddah Tower in Saudi Arabia, as well as Central Park Tower in New York.
“The formal geometry of the tower is defined by both its arrival and skyline expressions,” said AS+GG Partner Gordon Gill. “Diamond shaped facets create a distinctive arrival and retail experience at street level, while the complimentary faceted silhouette of the tower’s top creates an iconic identity within the Toronto skyline. The tower boasts luxurious hotel and residential functions with abundant amenities including terraced, outdoor garden spaces.”
Toronto’s DesignAgency leads the interior design with a collection of spaces and amenities that “transport residents and hotel guests into magical, fun, and exciting worlds of design.”
Freed Hotel and Residences is scheduled to begin sales in March 2024.
