Overview
Residents living at 28 Linden Street in the Yonge and Bloor neighbourhood probably prefer to describe their home using the building’s name, rather than its address. However, after telling friends and family members that you live at the James Cooper Mansion, just know that you might have some explaining to do.
And while homeowners living at 28 Linden don’t exactly live inside a mansion, residents do have this mansion all to themselves, seeing as the building’s amenities are located here.
But the bragging rights don’t have as much to do with the size of the James Cooper Mansion, as they so with its heritage status.
Today, the James Cooper Mansion is adjacent to — and named for — the 1881-built James Cooper Mansion, a heritage building originally owned by a shoe magnate. This Second-Empire-style structure, complete with classical detailing, became home to the Keeley Institute for Nervous Diseases after Cooper moved out, and the stomping grounds for the Toronto Knights of Columbus after that.
Not only is the heritage building heritage-worthy for its early construction date, however: in 2008 the structure made history yet again when it became the heaviest residence in Canada to be physically relocated. And this miniscule move was no small feat — the 25-foot move cost around $1 million.
This was Tridel’s doing, and although this developer footed the bill in order to make room for the James Cooper Mansion, it was clearly well worth it. Today, a 33-storey glass tower shares the land with the James Cooper Mansion.
Within the 2011-completed high-rise condo, 274 modern Toronto condos can be found. Yet next door, in the 19th century construction, is where the real fun happens. Back when the mansion was built, the most creative of minds couldn’t have even imagined the amenities that would be available to residents living at 28 Linden Street today. These include a gym with yoga area and steam rooms, a games room, party room, cinema, and meeting room, as well as guest suites and visitor parking.

Share of occupied homes, by the era they were built in. Bars are drawn against the busiest era, not against each other, because the eras are not the same length. The eight shares are unlikely to total exactly 100: Statistics Canada rounds each era's count to the nearest 5 before publishing it, so we print what the census reports rather than adjusting a figure to make the column add up.
