Simcoe Place, Modern office skyscraper in Waterfront Communities, Canada.
The 148-meter Simcoe Place features a glass and steel facade rising 33 floors above Front Street West in downtown Toronto.
Constructed in 1995, Simcoe Place emerged as the sole major office tower built in Toronto during the mid-1990s real estate market period.
The Globe and Mail newspaper documented the construction process over two years, resulting in a published book titled 'A Building Goes Up: The Making of a Skyscraper'.
The building contains 69,677 square meters of office space, houses the Workplace Safety & Insurance Board headquarters, and operates 17 elevators for vertical transportation.
Selected through a design competition, architect Carlos Ott created this structure adjacent to the CBC National Broadcast Centre as part of a larger commercial complex.
