Royal Bank Building, High-rise building in Bay Street Corridor, Toronto, Canada
The Royal Bank Building is a high-rise at 20 King Street West that extends twelve floors with a structured facade in gray and steel tones. It provides direct connections to Toronto's underground pedestrian system.
Construction began in 1964 when the chairman of Royal Bank of Canada placed the cornerstone for this headquarters building. It served as the main Toronto office location until operations moved to another location in 1977.
The building represents Toronto's role as a financial hub and stands alongside other towers that form the city's business district. These structures together create the heart of Ontario's banking and commercial area.
The building is accessible during business hours and features modern office facilities with security staff on site. The underground connection allows visitors to move comfortably through the area in bad weather or winter.
The building was the main headquarters of Royal Bank in Toronto for years and symbolized the company's strong presence in the city. Today it shows how financial firms relocate their operations to newer complexes as the city evolves.
