Victoria Park Place
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Victoria Park Place is Windsor, Ontario's tallest building, standing at 33 storeys (3 below-ground floors, and 30 above-ground floors). Its construction started in 1969 and was built by Wonsch Construction. The building uses reinforced concrete construction and concrete plank. The apartment tower is easily identifiable from its "L" shape. It stands at the corner of Park Street and Victoria Avenue in downtown Windsor, on a site formerly occupied by the old Norton Palmer Hotel. The high-rise apartment building takes up a full city block, and is across Pelissier Street from the Royal Windsor Terrace Apartments.
The high-rise uses the modern architecture style, incorporating a great deal of glass and steel. Along its southwest corner (the edge of its "L" shape), elevators travel along the shafts, with a clear view of the streets below.
At one time, it even housed a news bureau for CKCO-TV on its ground floor, which has since been turned into a convenience store.
