With five million square feet of available space across 47 office towers, downtown Toronto is becoming a tenant’s paradise - and an investor’s potential nightmare

Office spaces can be turned into housing as long as they are not too deep, otherwise many rooms will end up without windows and sun light.

And those rooms could be used for storage, goods and services.

I don’t understand the issue of bedrooms without a window. I once lived in a tiny studio apartment with a windowless bedroom. The total dark and silence gave me the best undisturbed sleep I ever had.

Fire codes generally require that bedrooms have 2 exits.

If I exit my bedroom through the window I fall to my death. Not sure how that helps me in a fire.

Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of science?

That worked out ok for one of the 9/11 jumpers. Maybe you could be the next one!
