TORONTO — Celebrity chef Nobu Matsuhisa and actor Robert De Niro were in Toronto recently to mark the groundbreaking on the Nobu Toronto project, the first integrated Nobu Residences, Nobu Hotel and Nobu Restaurant in the world.
Nobu Toronto will feature Nobu-branded highrise residences as well as Canada’s first Nobu Hotel and Nobu Restaurant. The project will be located on Mercer Street in the city’s entertainment district and construction is set to begin immediately, said a recent media statement.
The 45-storey build will rise above the Pilkington Glass Factory with two residential towers containing a total of 660 residential units. All units have been sold out.
The Nobu Hotel Toronto will have 36 suites located atop the west tower.
The 15,000-square-foot Nobu Restaurant will be built over two levels and will also feature a bar lounge, outdoor seating and private dining rooms.
Attending the launch ceremony with Nobu principals Matsuhisa, De Niro and Meir Teper were Miguel Singer and Nelly Zagdanski, principals of developer Madison Group. Following greetings from Toronto Mayor John Tory, chef Nobu led a ceremonial sake toast in front of a 40-foot 3-D Nobu sculpture.
“It’s an exciting project, our partners are terrific people and hopefully we do other things together too,” said De Niro in the statement.
“Thank you so much to Madison Group. Next comes the hotel, residence and restaurant. I am so excited to be here today with all of my team and I’m looking forward to introducing my food to Torontonians,” said Matsuhisa.
