Victoria Park Place was completed in 1979 on the site of the former Norton Palmer Hotel. It was built through a joint venture of Danzig Enterprises Limited and Wonsch Construction. The reinforced concrete tower, 88.7 m tall with 31 floors, replaced the hotel at Park Street and Victoria Avenue.
The tower occupies a full city block opposite the Royal Windsor Terrace condominiums across Pelissier Street. Its ground floor once housed a CKCO-TV press bureau, later converted into a convenience store. The name comes from the adjacent Victoria Park and Victoria Avenue.
