King Edward Hotel – King Edward Residences
Summary
The King Edward Hotel in downtown Toronto has remained one of the city’s leading hotels since its opening day in May 1903. Floors 3, 4 and 5 were most recently used as commercial office space in the 1980s, and have been unoccupied for the past 20 years. The spaces have been stripped back to the steel columns and concrete floors: no original interior finishes remain. In 2009, ERA was engaged as Architect and Heritage Consultant to oversee the conversion of the three empty floors into luxury condominium suites, with interior design by The Design Agency. 140 residential suites are to be constructed, with a total floor area of approximately 100,000 square feet. All 1970s metal windows will be replaced with new wood sash windows to match the original design. Construction is scheduled to begin early in 2011.
