Gansevoort Hotel to Open in Toronto in 2011
We had heard the rumblings and now we have confirmation: Gansevoort Toronto is in the works.
This will be the fourth property from the Gansevoort hotel Group--there's the flagship in NYC, Gansevoort South in Miami Beach and the upcoming Gansevoort Park on Park Ave South--and it will include residences. The hotel will also be very green as it's expected to be Toronto's first ever LEED-certified hotel/residence. Indeed, Gansevoort Toronto is hoping to be the model for "environmentally building and living."
But don't worry! It won't be like totally boring or anything. For starters, look at that crazy design. If you look closely, you can make out the vertical hanging gardens. The hotel also will have a rooftop pool (natch) and it's located in the city's Richmond Street district, a fashion and entertainment hub.
Now, we wonder how Thompson Hotels, who are opening their own hotel with a pool and an ice rink, feel about this announcement.
More details on the G'voort T'to after the jump.
Features of the Gansevoort Toronto which is being developed by TAS DesignBuild, include:
· A range of integrated sustainable functions, including building automation (systems tied to computer monitors to intelligently draw less power); ERV systems (energy recovery ventilators designed to reclaim energy before it is discharged); HRV systems (heat recovery systems), etc.
· Units with individual vertical hanging gardens that provide a mixed landscape between greenery and modern architecture.
· Signature heated outdoor rooftop pool with underwater lights and music; rooftop bar and lounge with landscaped garden; and spacious event loft with soaring ceilings and commanding panoramic views of the city and Lake Ontario.
Once again, we gotta wait until 2011 before this hotel opens its green doors.
