Living at Festival Tower: Luxury Condos at 80 John Street in Toronto

Located in the heart of Toronto’s buzzing Entertainment District, Festival Tower at 80 John Street is more than just a condo building, it’s a lifestyle destination for those who want to live in the center of it all.

Developed by The Daniels Corporation and officially registered in 2011, Festival Tower rises 42 storeys above King and John, sitting atop the iconic TIFF Bell Lightbox. That means residents enjoy a unique blend of upscale living and cultural vibrancy, with everything from film premieres to fine dining just steps from their front door.

Suite Options & Layouts

Festival Tower offers a total of 378 suites, with sizes ranging from cozy 487 square foot studios to sprawling 2,765+ square foot penthouses. Many units include private balconies, and if a view is important to you, the east and southeast exposures offer some of the most impressive skyline views in the city.

Another major selling point for renters: Festival Tower is under rent control, as it was registered before Ontario’s 2018 exemption. So if you’re leasing here, you’ll have that added layer of financial predictability.

Top-Tier Amenities

Festival Tower is well known for its extensive and thoughtfully designed amenity spaces, which include:

✔️ 24-hour concierge and security
✔️ A fully equipped fitness centre
✔️ Yoga and Pilates studios
✔️ Indoor pool and spa
✔️ Private screening theatre
✔️ Media lounge and sports bar
✔️ Rooftop terrace with BBQs and cabanas

Whether you’re hosting guests or just unwinding after work, the building’s amenities make it easy to relax, socialize, and recharge.

Maintenance fees at Festival Tower cover heat, air conditioning, and water — with hydro billed separately.

Pet-Friendly Living

Pet lovers will be pleased to know that Festival Tower is pet-friendly. The condo allows one dog (with certain breed restrictions), one cat, or a small selection of low-maintenance pets like caged birds, aquarium fish, or animals kept in secure terrariums. Plus, the walkable neighbourhood and nearby green spaces make daily strolls easy and enjoyable.
