King + Condos has opened for sales at the corner of King and Sherbourne in Toronto's most historic quarter. The 17-storey tower, designed by Tact Design, is being developed by King Plus Development with luxury homebuilder Terracomm Development. E.R.A. Architects are preservation consultant for the historic structure at the building's base, while Mike Niven Interior Design holds sway inside.

The facade of the National Hotel, an 1861 structure, will be maintained in place as new construction takes place behind it.

Let's orbit the scale model. King and Sherbourne sides from the northwest.

Upper levels from the north.

Two shots along the Sherbourne side. First, closer to the sidewalk. The new construction at ground level, both on King and Sherbourne Streets, will be set back slightly so that the facade of the historic structure will be more prominent.

Above the heritage structure the tower moves from brick to glass so that the higher floors are unquestionably modern.
