Structures

Incredibly, for the very first time in human history, anyone located anywhere in the world has the ability to create content, upload, and share it with billions of people. Planning, designing, and building websites is a deep passion of mine, beginning in 1994 when I first put a tiny .gif file online, I will never forget the excitement! I will build you a website so powerful, when you finally realize the power in your hands, you will be totally amazed! Step in to the many towers, buildings, and structures I have walked through, let’s work together and get going!

The CN Tower (FrenchTour CN) is a 553.3 m-high (1,815.3 ft) concrete communications and observation tower in downtown TorontoOntario, Canada.[3][8] Built on the former Railway Lands, it was completed in 1976. Its name “CN” referred to Canadian National, the railway company that built the tower. Following the railway’s decision to divest non-core freight railway assets prior to the company’s privatization in 1995, it transferred the tower to the Canada Lands Company, a federal Crown corporation responsible for real estate development.

The CN Tower held the record for the world’s tallest free-standing structure for 32 years, from 1975 until 2007, when it was surpassed by the Burj Khalifa, and was the world’s tallest tower until 2009 when it was surpassed by the Canton Tower.[9][10][11] It is currently the tenth-tallest free-standing structure in the world and remains the tallest free-standing structure on land in the Western Hemisphere. In 1995, the CN Tower was declared one of the modern Seven Wonders of the World by the American Society of Civil Engineers. It also belongs to the World Federation of Great Towers.[12][13][5]

It is a signature icon of Toronto’s skyline[14][15] and attracts more than two million international visitors annually.[5][16] It houses several observation decks, a revolving restaurant at some 350 metres (1,150 ft), and an entertainment complex.[17]
