Exciting news but I'm not sure where it could be located on the north side of Mercer as King Blue fills in the gap from Hotel Le Germain over to Blue Jays Way? Could the proposed W location be on the south side of Mercer in fact?

Yes, it's accurate. Curbed has a lot more insider info

Not at all surprised by this news, there has been talk for years about bringing a W Hotel to Toronto. It's one of the few luxury chains Toronto doesn't have.
This neighbourhood is already PACKED with hotels. I guess this area will be Toronto's hotel district.

Nice! Considering the firms that Freed partners with, then they should ditch P+S from the original proposal.

Starwood Hotels tried to launch Aloft Hotel here 8 years ago, but pulled out due to the economy. Tridel bought the partially built site and transformed it to Rêve Condos.
It would make sense that Starwood would return and open a W Hotel here as the only W Hotel they have in Canada is Montreal. An Aloft hotel would be great here as well.

This would be exciting if it was 2003!

This is indeed the best part of the announcement.

It definitely looks a lot better than what was proposed on this site before

Don't think there is a thread for this.

Oh - "mid-air connection"
Something similar to Pier 27 or Parade then

I almost always like the mid-air connection. Gives me a very sci-fi vibe. I'll probably get some flak for this, but aesthetically Parade is my favourite CityPlace building

Nope, that aspect of Parade is interesting. That said, the extant examples (even including Pier 27) in Toronto are rather mild. Check out Steven Holl's Linked Hybrid in Beijing:

Now THAT's sci-fi.

And with Chinese money and labour laws, there's no reason we couldn't have that here either!
