250 Richmond Street West, Radio broadcasting complex in Downtown Toronto, Canada
250 Richmond Street West is a broadcasting building in downtown Toronto that houses radio and television studios alongside offices for media production. It spans several floors and accommodates multiple broadcast operations under one roof.
The building has roots in a warehouse connected to Tip Top Tailors, which stood on the site in 1914 before being transformed a decade later. Over the following decades it gradually became a home for broadcasting operations in the city.
Several radio stations broadcast from inside the building, producing daily music, news, and local content for Toronto listeners. Passersby can sometimes spot broadcast vans or media crews near the entrance on busy days.
The building sits at the corner of Richmond Street West and Duncan Street in central Toronto, within easy walking distance of several streetcar stops. The surrounding area is dense with offices and restaurants, making it easy to combine with other stops in the neighborhood.
The CHUM neon sign was moved here from the network's former headquarters at 1331 Yonge Street, which CTV sold to Aspen Ridge Homes for $21.5 million in July 2008. The sign was unveiled at its new spot on June 15, 2009, two months before the Toronto radio stations moved in on August 19, 2009.
