Fortis Building, Office building in downtown St. John's, Canada
The Fortis Building stands 12 floors tall with contemporary design elements, featuring three elevators and 82,325 square feet of floor space at 139 Water Street.
Initially named the Royal Trust Building upon its completion in 1969, the structure became the headquarters for Fortis Inc, a major North American utility corporation.
The building represents a shift in St. John's architectural development, marking the transition toward modern commercial structures in the downtown district during the 1970s.
The central location provides direct access to public transportation, with numerous restaurants, retail stores, and business services located within walking distance.
In 2010, a proposed expansion project valued at 75 million dollars included plans for a connecting pedestrian walkway over Water Street to the TD Building.
