King+ Condos Save Heritage Hotel; Home Auction Axed; More!

DISTILLERY DISTRICT— A local developer will incorporate a 150-year-old heritage-listed hotel into the podium of a new condo development at King and Sherbourne streets. King+ Condos will see 132 units in a 17-storey building, with the old National Hotel serving as part of its lobby.

YORKVILLE— When a mysterious millionaire announced he was selling his two luxury homes at an exclusive, cocktail-fuelled auction at the Four Seasons, eager would-be bidders (and rubberneckers) were breathless with anticipation. Instead, a secret buyer snapped both properties up just days before the auction was to be held.

BLOORDALE/BLOORCOURT— We feature some new floorplans and model-home photos of the Lanehouses on Bartlett, the groundbreaking new laneway-housing development that's the first of its kind in the city.

FASHION DISTRICT— Construction's started on the Fabrik condo project at Spadina and Richmond, right beside the great big thimble. Check out the renderings (how about that pink trim on the exterior?) and some floor plans.
