Harry Stinson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Harry Stinson is a high-profile real estate developer in Toronto, Canada, and president of Stinson Properties, Inc. He has been called Toronto's "condo king".[1] Stinson's highest profile project to date has been "1 King West", a condo/hotel point tower that he claims is the "narrowest building in the world" on the basis of its height-to-footprint ratio. It incorporates the former headquarters of The Dominion Bank.

He is currently promoting the Sapphire Tower, a new residential tower in Toronto's financial district that will be the tallest residential tower in Toronto at 342 metres (90 stories). He is competing with Donald Trump who is trying to develop the "Trump Tower Toronto", a proposed condo/hotel of similar height. See Article in Moscow Times

His Dominion Club was closed on September 20, 2006, and the vast hall was reopened as a special event space.

In March 2007, the "condo king" filed for bankruptcy protection as a result of an $11.8 million dispute with David Mirvish, the financier of 1 King West.[2]
