The Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Toronto is a complex consisting of a 204-metre,[5] 55-storey residential condominium tower and a 125-meter, 30-storey luxury hotel tower in the Yorkville district of Toronto, Ontario,[6] Canada, which opened on October 5, 2012. Located at 60 Yorkville Avenue, at its intersection with Bay Street, the complex is situated one block east of the former Four Seasons Hotel Toronto building at 21 Avenue Road.
The 55-floor complex contains 259 hotel rooms and 210 private condominium units in addition to 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 Ltd., and Lifetime Homes), and it uses the "Four Seasons" trademark under licence. The taller tower was initially the 10th tallest building in Toronto, but by 2017, its position had fallen to 17th as other taller buildings were completed. The site had previously been the Bay Ford Lincoln car dealership, and it is next door to Toronto Fire Services Station 312.
The penthouse, which occupies the entire 55th floor of the West Residence was sold for C$28 million in 2012, making it the most expensive condominium unit sold in Canada.[7] Before the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Four Seasons Hotels chairman and founder Isadore Sharp proclaimed the new location as being "...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".[8]
