Chinese Firm Gets Into Toronto Condos

A high-profile mixed-use downtown condo project has changed hands. Easton’s Group of Hotels and The Remington Group sold their interest in King Blue, a two-tower development, to Shanghai-based Greenland Holding Group Co, a Chinese multinational that recently opened a Toronto office.

Plans call for two towers, 44 and 48 storeys, incorporating the historic Westinghouse factory building at the base. The project will also include 13k SF of retail, possibly a hotel, and the Theatre Museum of Canada. The site was previously owned by David Mirvish.

He also assured King Blue purchasers and investors that they're "completely protected;" Greenland—a Fortune 500 global company that has made six other international acquisitions in 2014—has "assumed all commitments and have agreed to fulfill their responsibilities.”
