Canada’s first Nobu hotel and restaurant is opening in Toronto, and developers have recently shared some updates on the property, including renderings of its exterior and photos of the current construction.

Madison Group, a real estate development company with properties in Toronto and New York City, officially released renderings of the historic façade and entrance, which is on Mercer Street.

“This transformative development will become an anchor in the heart of Toronto’s popular Entertainment District as the first, fully integrated residence,” states Madison Group.
