Ernst & Young Tower

Ernst & Young Tower is a 42-story office building with glass facades located in Toronto's Financial District that preserves the south and east walls of a 1928 Art Deco structure within its modern frame. The building houses substantial office space distributed across its floors.

Built in 2017, this structure replaced an Art Deco building from 1928 while intentionally preserving sections of its original exterior walls. This approach demonstrates how Toronto incorporated its historic architecture into contemporary development.

The preserved wall sections display mosaics created by J.E.H. MacDonald, a member of Canada's most influential artist group. These artistic works remain visible and connect the site to its creative heritage.

The building sits in the Financial District and is straightforward to locate, with strong environmental standards in its design and operations. Interior access may be limited since this is primarily an office building, depending on what public activities are happening.

A large outdoor terrace on the 14th floor creates an open-air retreat within the glass tower. This green space offers a quiet break from the busy financial surroundings.
