Market at 70 King: Past to Present
Established in 1929, 70 King was originally home to Genosha Hotel. Soon establishing itself as an iconic landmark in the city, Oshawa’s first luxury hotel enjoyed many years of high-profile success; hosting many weddings, fair shows, and local celebrations. It became a beloved community hub for Oshawa residents and high-profile guests alike – notably, Ian Fleming (James Bond creator) and Roald Dahl – and served as a concert venue space for artists such as Rush, Boston, Burton Cummings, and Paul Schaffer from the Late Show with David Letterman. From 1950 to 1992, 70 King saw a variety of owners and underwent several rebrands. In 2003, due to city rezoning, the hotel sealed its doors; remaining closed to the public for over two decades.
In 2017, recognizing 70 King’s potential, Richard Summers of Summers & Co, partnered with Michael Poon of CPPI Group to begin renovation on the beloved building, transforming the empty units of the former hotel into 86 luxury suites. A few years later, construction on the first floor began to bring together the final piece of returning 70 King to its former glory days as a community culture hub.
By the summer of 2024, Market at 70 King was born; a place where citizens of the Durham Region can come together to enjoy great food and great company while making an even greater impact through sponsored local charity Market initiatives.
