Is a Gansevoort hotel coming to the Distillery District in the form of a condo tower?
Although arguing for more condo towers in and around downtown Toronto isn’t a popular activity of late, the Toronto Standard found a good spot to squeeze in one more—the Distillery District. Apparently, there’s a plan to build a 34-storey structure (early rumours say it’s a Gansevoort) with 88 hotel suites and 246 condo units at 60 Mill St. While the Standard argues that the increased density the tower would bring is good for the neighbourhood, getting the city on board might be another matter.

I for one hope so… The Distillery gets better every year, but still has the feel of an experiment. I’d love to see the area densify a bit, as long as the heritage elements and street scale can be preserved.
