"We are especially honored to collaborate with Karl Lagerfeld - one of the world's most celebrated and prolific designers - to execute the 'Lobbies by Karl Lagerfeld '," says Jordan Dermer , Managing Partner of CD Capital Developments. "My partner Todd Cowan and I approached the Art Shoppe Lofts + Condos with the goal to develop an iconic architectural landmark destination in the heart of Toronto . With the involvement of Karl Lagerfeld we are doing just that. A true pioneer of design, his mastery of fashion, photography and interior design are unparalleled. Combining property with possibility; it is this talent that will give the building a timeless identity and bring the 'Lobbies by Karl Lagerfeld ' to life."

I'm excited to be part of the CD Capital & Freed approach to the Art of Change."

"We have always sought to find ways to partner in our developments with some of the great design minds of our generation, and share their style," says Peter Freed of Freed Developments.  

'We look forward to sharing Karl Lagerfeld's distinctively ultramodern, highly structured style for the Art Shoppe Lofts + Condos and believe that his premier Canadian condominium design will create spaces that will be valued by our residents, treasured by our City, and appreciated by the world."
