Condomonium: $1.8 million for a penthouse in the Cosmopolitan styled by HGTV’s Designer Guys
ADDRESS: 8 Colborne St., Unit 2702
NEIGHBOURHOOD: Church-Yonge Corridor
AGENT: Corinne Pencer, Slavens and Associates
PRICE: $1,799,000
THE PLACE: A penthouse condo on the 27th floor of the Cosmopolitan, a boutique hotel that’s been singled out on the Condé Nast Traveler Hot List and comes equipped with a gym, business centre, spa and wine bar. Before going on the market as a condo, the penthouse was available for $3,500 a night.
BRAGGING RIGHTS: Kate Hudson, Queen Latifah, Vince Vaughn and Kevin Costner all spent the night back when the space was still a hotel suite.
B IG SELLING POINT: Sure, you no longer get a mint on your pillow, but the condo does come fully furnished. The suite starred in an episode HGTV’s Designer Guys, and the show’s Allen Chan, Anwar Mukhayesh and Matt Davis are responsible for the layout and design of the entire space—they hand-picked everything, from the artwork to the one-of-a-kind dining room table.
POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: Your guests will probably tire of you telling them that they’re sitting on the white leather sofa that Kate Hudson sat on once upon a time.

The Designer Guys eh? Says who? Ugly.
2 measly bedrooms for THAT price?? I’ll pass.
This place has been on the market for a long time, maybe taken off and relisted, by the same agent. Obviously price too high. You could buy a place in Yorkville for that price!
Once again, ugly and overpriced for location. And why would they take pictures on a gloooomy grey wet Toronto day? Dumb agents.
