By 2010, Toronto will be home to the world flagship Four Seasons Hotel and Residences, affording two retailers a rare opportunity to be associated with this momentous landmark.

These distinguished retail establishments can compound the inherent advantages of this prestigious address by making it their world flagship location as well.

As the world's leading luxury hotelier, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts maintains its reputation through a high regard for opulence, modern design, and tasteful amenities. 

The Four Seasons group has opened hotels in major city centres and the most desirable resort destinations in the world. Currently, the organization boasts 75 hotels in 31 countries with more than 30 properties in development.

Enmeshed within Yorkville’s luxury retail area and flanked by several of the the city's tony neighborhoods, your retail establishment will be in good company.

Down the street a way, just around the corner is the headquarters of the renown Toronto International Film Festival. Traditionally, Yorkville is where celebrities and Toronto’s elite come to

mix, mingle, engage, escape, and network. Come Festival time in September, expect to encounter stars, directors, producers, and adoring fans, conspiring for contact, deal making, lunching, lounging, and picking up a classy, one-of-a-kind present for someone special.

Building Info:

Located at the crossroads of Bay St. of Yorkville Avenue, the complex is situated at the epicentre of the most exclusive retail shopping area in Canada.

Regardless of which of the 55 or 25-story towers guests reside in, they will embark on an entrancing voyage of swept glass, burnished stone, and gleaming steel. An imported granite urban entranceway welcomes travelers from faraway places while permanent residents bask in the ever present attention. The meaningful experience continues via a striking visual garden exhibit based on the English Rose, by famous landscape designer Claude Cormier.

The World Flagship Four Seasons Hotel and Residences will set a precedent for the Toronto hotel market by re-defining what luxury and living your dreams can mean.

Yorkville defines upscale shopping, restaurants, and the city's most exclusive retail stores, including: Prada, Gucci, MAC Cosmetics, Hugo Boss, Chanel, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Holt Renfrew, Tiffany & Co., Ermenegildo Zegna, Canali, Bulgari, Cartier SA, Harry Rosen, Escada, Calvin Klein, Cole Haan, Vera Wang, Lacoste, Ferrari, Maserati, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and many more.

With a thriving downtown high technology and commercial business core, many Torontonians, especially newer ones, have opted to live downtown for reasons of convenience. This has resulted in the construction of some of the city's most luxurious condominiums such as The Prince Arthur, Renaissance Plaza, 10 Bellair, and One St. Thomas to name a few.

Complementing these, several new projects are also underway to accommodate the ongoing population expansion: 1 Bloor, The St. Thomas, Museum House, 100 Yorkville, Regency Yorkville and 77 Charles. Combined, the desired demographic for the two retail spaces are a walk away from the Four Seasons Hotel and Residences complex.

As an added bonus, beginning this summer, the Bloor-Yorkville neighbourhood will be undergoing a major transformation of its primary artery, Bloor Street. It will be one of the largest urban infrastructure improvement projects in Canada, financed entirely by the private sector. The objective is the creation of an enhanced pedestrian experience. With widened granite sidewalks, mature trees, flower gardens, modern lighting and public art, the area will become a mecca for refined tastes.

With an estimated 2.5 million people of over 200 cultural backgrounds wiithin its metropolitan borders, Toronto has an international flair few cities can rival.

To celebrate its ascent to the ranks of world-class city status, Toronto is in the midst of an architectural renaissance that will upgrade its urban landscape and design reputation. The Royal Ontario Museum, Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art, Art Gallery of Ontario and the Ontario College of Art and Design have undergone significant revolutions in style, shape, and dimensions that equally exhilirate and compel discussion.

Notable has been the completion of the city's first Canadian Opera Centre, devoted to dance and opera productions. 

With the business of Toronto thriving, many other prestigious hotel chains have established a presence in the downtown core or are in the process of being built; among them, Trump International Hotel and Tower, the Ritz-Carlton, and Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts. However, the Four Seasons Hotel and Residence will be the only luxury hotel and residence situated in the heart of both the Yorkville area, and the upscale Bloor-Bay St. street shopping area.

Toronto is the financial capital of Canada and the second most important financial market in North America. It is a major international centre for business, with a high concentration of financial firms. For example, it houses the headquarters of all “Big Five” banks in the country. The Toronto Stock Exchange is the world's seventh-largest stock exchange, rated by market capitalization. Finally, it is an important centre for the media, publishing, telecommunications, information technology, and film production industries.
