Soho Properties CEO Sharif El-Gamal joined The Real Deal managing web editor Hiten Samtani backstage during last week’s Real Estate Showcase and Forum in Toronto, where he discussed Canadian investment in New York City and details on his 45 Park Place project.

The developer took up his vision for the 70-story Downtown condo tower, and how it will fit into Downtown’s residential landscape.

“I believe Park Place will be dubbed the ‘Park Avenue of the new Downtown,’” he said, before asserting that Tribeca will soon become New York’s hottest neighborhood.
