Description
These twin pyramidal towers were once home to the athletes of the 1976 Summer Olympics.  In the years after the games the buildings have changed hands on a number of occasions.  Today the apartments are being offered for rent by CAPREIT who say of living in the blocks that residents can, " Go shopping, share a meal at a restaurant, pay a visit to the doctors’ or swim a few lengths without having to leave the building!" The complex appears to be made up of pairs of stepped towers linked by central service towers.
