Festival Tower Condominium

Festival Tower Condominiums... Toronto's Hippest Address

The new Festival Centre, unveiled today by the Toronto International Film Festival Group, is certain to become an international landmark, a destination for people from around the world to celebrate their love of film 365 days a year.

The opportunity to live above such an important cultural centre is truly unique. Festival Tower, rising 41 floors above Festival Centre's five storey podium building at King and John in the heart of Toronto's Entertainment District, is being developed by The Daniels Corporation in partnership with renowned filmmaker Ivan Reitman and his sisters Agi Mandel and Susan Michaels. "Festival Tower is unrivalled in the Toronto condominium market and is destined to be downtown's hottest, hippest address", commented Mitchell Cohen, President of The Daniels Corporation

Conceived by the award-winning team of Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg (KPMB) in collaboration with Kirkor Architects and Planners, Festival Tower will include 528 condominium suites, ranging from 435 sq.ft. studios to the ultimate in penthouse living at up to 4,000 square feet.

Co-developer Ivan Reitman, best known for producing and/or directing many of the most successful and best loved comedies in Hollywood history, including Animal House, Ghostbusters, Dave, Twins, Six Days Seven Nights, and Old School, sees Festival Tower as the perfect home away from his home in California. "I travel between L.A. and Toronto several times a year, and it'll be a huge pleasure to come home to the most beautiful building in the city, especially in such a vibrant neighbourhood with the best theatres, restaurants and nightclubs right at my door".

The unique nature of life at Festival Tower is underscored by Festival Centre membership privileges, providing early access and special pricing to many of the Festival Centre's exclusive events.

Festival Tower residents will also experience all the amenities of the Tower Club, a complete Spa and Fitness Centre with indoor and outdoor whirlpools, saunas, aromatherapy steam rooms, and access to a full menu of spa treatments. Kick-boxing, tai-bo, pilates, and yoga classes will also be available, as will personalized training on the most advanced lineup of aerobics and weight training equipment.

The Tower Club also features the 'Tower Lounge on King', a one-of-a-kind party venue available throughout the year to Festival Tower residents as well as to the Toronto International Film Festival Group. Designed by Mike Niven Interior Design the Tower Lounge on King features an expansive bar, private dining room, and a spectacular outdoor terrace overlooking the Toronto skyline. Festival Tower residents also have access to a professional billiards room and state of the art Hollywood-style screening room. In addition to their own screening room privileges, residents will also enjoy two private screenings a year in Festival Centre's main theatre hosted by world renowned film guests.

Inspired by the soul of a city and fueled by the centre of Toronto’s vibrant Entertainment District, a new chapter in condominium living is about to be written.

Surrounded by live theatre venues, including The Royal Alexandra and Princess of Wales, world-class music venues like Roy Thomson Hall, sports and concert facilities at the Air Canada Centre and Skydome and countless nightclubs, movie theatres and restaurants, the corner of King and John street changes forever with the development of Festival Centre, a new home for the Toronto International Film Festival Group and its dynamic events like the Toronto International Film Festival, Cinematheque Ontario, Sprockets, Talk Cinema and so much more.

One landmark joins another, as Festival Tower, developed by Ivan Reitman, one of North America’s most successful producer/directors, and The Daniels Corporation, one of Canada’s most respected condominium developers, will rise above Festival Centre’s five storey podium building, resulting in the most unique and exciting condominium opportunity in Toronto.

Residents of Festival Tower will enjoy all of the premium amenities of condominium living… a spa, a health and fitness centre, granite counters, hardwood floors and all of the other benefits of a downtown condominium lifestyle. Most uniquely, residents will have access to a myriad of film offerings - all at their fingertips.

No farther than their doorstep, Festival Tower residents will find a generous menu of film choices every day at Festival Centre - from screenings, to exhibits, to lectures. All of this will be available to them as part of their exclusive Tower Club membership, offering early access and preferred pricing to many of the Centre’s events. They will also enjoy events exclusively designed for their enjoyment, like intimate private screenings with special Toronto International Film Festival guests and programmers, and special access to the Centre’s private rental programme to host their own special events.
