City Unveils Plan To Turn The CN Tower Into A Condo Building
By Scott Slute
Lifestyle - Have you ever dreamed of recreating the cover of Drake’s Views album, but didn’t have access to the CN Tower rooftop? Well that dream might become possible if the city’s new plan to convert the iconic building into condos gets approved!
Fresh off the completion of their 65 story building at 10 York, development group Tridel is now looking to convert the neighbouring eyesore into a hip and cool condominium! In their proposal to the city, Tridel says they would preserve the existing historic structure, and build their new units around it.
“It’s time the Toronto skyline gets a little makeover,” said a representative from the development firm, “We want to turn the CN Tower from a place ugly tourists from Barrie go, into a spot where Toronto’s hottest and youngest professionals can go to do cocaine 147 stories up in the air!”
The newly reimagined Toronto skyline after the Homes at CN project is completed.
Aside from becoming the tallest residential building in the world (beating New York’s Central Park Tower by a whopping 49 floors!!), the ‘Homes at CN’, as the proposed project is being called, will feature all the world class amenities Toronto condo-dwellers have come to expect!
Starting at just $1.7 million for a bachelor, units will range in size from 120-350 square feet. The building will feature a gym with two elliptical machines, a party room that’s literally impossible to book, and a roof top pool that is never not filled with urine! With this kind of luxury, the average Liberty Village resident will feel right at home in this new development.
City council will begin voting on the proposal later this week and, based on the last three decades of voting history, it’s looking like the plans will be unanimously approved!
