The new condominium units at the venerable King Edward Hotel are a hit, as sales have hit 90% after only two weeks on the market. The 145 suites are found on the third, fourth, and fifth floors of the building where a fashion mart once was. Residents of the new units will be able to enjoy all of the hotel's amenities, which are being refreshed by E.R.A. Architects and The Design Agency, as they restore the building to its original glory, and seamlessly integrate the new construction into the existing aesthetic.

New owner King Edward Realty Inc., comprised of partners Dundee Realty Corporation, Alex Shnaider, Skyline International Development Inc., and Serruya Realty Group Inc., aim to preserve the building's heritage, luxury, and integrity. The complex shape of the building, and the central location immediately east of Canada's financial core, will provide some uniquely urban views for a Toronto condo. Some units in the west wing will have this view down Scott Street:
