RBC WaterPark Place, Office building in Toronto, Canada.
RBC WaterPark Place is a 31-storey office tower designed by WZMH Architects at 88 Queens Quay West in Toronto, Canada. It provides 930,000 square feet (86,000 m2) of space and is home to the Royal Bank of Canada. The complex also includes the twin WaterPark Place towers at 10 Bay Street (18 floors, c. 1990) and 20 Bay Street (24 floors, c. 1986).
Oxford Properties Group began construction in 2011 and completed the tower in 2014. It was built as part of a broader effort to develop Toronto's waterfront into a mixed-use urban district.
The complex is named after WaterPark Place, the twin office towers at 10 and 20 Bay Street that share the site; the newer tower at 88 Queens Quay West carries the Royal Bank of Canada name. The three buildings are linked to Union Station through Toronto's PATH underground walkway, so the shops and services at the base are used year-round by commuters as well as by bank staff.
The building connects to Union Station through Toronto's underground PATH walkway, so getting to public transit stays dry regardless of weather. Visitors arriving by foot from the street will find the main entrance facing the lake on Queens Quay.
RBC WaterPark Place was first proposed as a replacement head office for the Royal Bank of Canada, taking over operations from Royal Bank Plaza; it now houses only some of the bank's operations. The complex also includes the twin WaterPark Place towers at 10 Bay Street (18 floors, c. 1990) and 20 Bay Street (24 floors, c. 1986).
