RAD Marketing, alongside developer Westbank, recently sold a penthouse in KING Toronto to Elton John and David Furnish. The two-storey home in the much anticipated condo complex has four terraces filled with lush landscaping and a two-storey brass staircase. A live tree will stand as an artful centrepiece within the suite.

The building itself, designed by Danish architect Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), appears like stacked boxes of light and takes inspiration from Maison de Verre in Paris.

“[David] had choices to live in different neighbourhoods in the city but was drawn to KING Toronto because of its iconic design with its four mountain peaks rising out of the heritage buildings in King Street West,” says RAD Marketing President Riz Dhanji. “The Treehouse penthouse sits, what we call, on top of a mountain at King Toronto, surrounded by greenery and allows for privacy amongst the bustle of the city.”.

Mountain peak

Condo amenities take cue from the structure’s mountainous peaks and valleys, such as a mountain-inspired spa and hammam with an indoor-outdoor pool. Plans also call for a mixed-use destination of restaurants and cafes, street celebrations, craft and farmers markets and 180,000 square feet of retail space.

A linear park will connect the project to Wellington on the south. The East lobby will feature a Fazioli piano designed by Bjarke Ingels as part of Westbank’s piano series.

There are just under 450 suites at King Toronto. Completion is scheduled for fall of 2023.
