The Residences of College Park is a group of tall buildings in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. These buildings are called skyscrapers because they are very high. People live in these buildings, which are known as residential condominiums.

About the Buildings

The Residences of College Park actually has two main towers. The first tower, called the North tower, was finished in 2006. The second tower, the South tower, was completed a bit later in 2008.

How Tall Are They?

The North tower is about 155 meters (509 feet) tall. The South tower is a bit shorter, standing at about 140 meters (459 feet) high. To give you an idea, 155 meters is taller than a 50-story building!

Where Are They Located?

You can find these towers on Bay Street in downtown Toronto. They are just south of College Street. They are also very close to the historic College Park department store. This area is a busy and exciting part of the city.

Did You Know?

There is a third, even taller building connected to this development. It is called Aura. Aura opened in 2014 and is the tallest residential building in all of Canada! It's amazing how many tall buildings are in Toronto.
