Talked to a sales rep in the lobby today. Their goal for timeline and construction is to start in November, with sales starting on the second phase in the spring.
She also said the majority of work will be done on the addition to the first phase, as seen here:
Is there a clear breakdown of the different project "phases" somewhere online? The official site is useless. Is the new, separate tower on the Main St. lot phase 2?

From CHCH: Ted Valeri: “The stone part of the building is our phase one, the brick portion is our phase two.”
The plan is to erect three condo towers in the empty lots around the Connaught — an eventual 700 units.
It's my understanding that phase 1 includes the addition on the John St. side. I would guess the phasing of the new towers along Catharine and Main will depend on sales.
/nitpick: there's no stone in the construction of the royal connaught

I believe the original wing at the west end of the hotel at King and John (the white half) has a stone facade. The east wing's facade is brick with stone accent treatments. Phase one is refurbishment of the west wing, along with construction of the new podium on John Street.

I'm excited to see the podium on John Street go up. It'll be years before that tower starts, but the new facade will do a lot to make that part of downtown feel bigger and grander.

I'm pretty sure it's stone too.
It's not the original wing though - the eastern half opened in 1916, while the west side went up in 1931.
Could it be they're more limited in terms of what they can do (for reasonable cost) in the older tower?
larger units are on the lower floors in the 2nd phase that is facing john st BUT the units are not facing the street and will have terrible view of the back of the complex.
According to their website, phase II faces King and Catharine and there are no floor plans available yet.
From there website...
There are 3 units over 1,000 sq ft. 1 faces King St, 1 faces john St., the other, in the new tower has a large balcony facing a beautiful courtyard, and 2 of them are found on the 4th through 11th floors.

If you look closely, that's white or cream-coloured brick above the ground floor. There's stone trim, yes, but it's not a completely stone facade.
I was picturing stone in my mind. I stand corrected. (you can see it on streetview - the vertical elements from 4th floor up; not sure about the crown)
Re: the planned courtyard, that's a nice touch.

This is the most exciting project that almost nobody's talking about. Maybe it's all the false starts. Wake me when it's finished is likely what most people are saying. Looks sexy.

Valery built the condos at upper wentworth and stone church. Spalacci has built one on barton street around wellington. They've probably built more, those are just two off the top of my head. Most of their developments are in the Hamilton area.

Is the Valery building at upper Wentworth and stone church condos? I thought they were rentals?
Also Spalacci built the high rise beside Denningers on King Street just west of wellington.
