About Festival Tower
Festival Tower is the condominium that rises above TIFF Lightbox, the home of the Toronto International Film Festival, at King and John streets. Developed by The Daniels Corporation with KPMB and Kirkor Architects, it was completed around 2011 and holds about 378 suites.
Living above the festival’s headquarters is the obvious draw, along with the restaurants of King Street West. Sources differ on its height (Wikipedia describes a 46-storey tower; Strata lists 42), so confirm the floor of any suite against the floor plans when comparing.
