Overview
Living in the tower atop the TIFF Bell Lightbox has its perks during festival season — and we don’t just mean the ability to line up early in order to get good seats. Rather, residents of the Festival Tower are provided a three-year membership upon moving into 80 John Street, which includes tickets to festival films, VIP parties, and other TIFF-related events throughout the year.
Kirkor Architects designed both the TIFF Bell Lightbox and the Festival tower above, allowing the residential tower to blend seamlessly with the cultural centre below. Residents therefore have easy access to the theatres, gallery, library, and restaurant below.
And while these homes aren’t directly affiliated with a hotel per se, the hotel-like amenities include the ability to hire a masseuse or dog walker, or have one’s dry cleaning done without leaving the building.
The building also boasts multiple party rooms with catering kitchen, however these are not your typical condo common spaces — the party rooms are seriously stylish as far as condominium amenities are concerned. Residents are also privy to a gym, sauna, and indoor pool, a rooftop terrace, a business centre with meeting room, guest suites, and of course a concierge to make sure everything runs smoothly.
Built in 2001, the Festival Tower is home to 378 units, which can be found spread out over 42 storeys. The Daniels Corporation oversaw the construction at 80 John, and its success has resulted in non-industry residents living amongst film executives, such as Kindergarten Cop and Road Trip producer Ivan Reitman.

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.
