First Canadian Place

The Grande Dame of office towers in Toronto is located right at Centre Ice in Downtown Toronto at King and Bay Street.

While aging gracefully Brookfield properties is giving her a facelift to keep her not only Toronto’s best known building but the best business address.

When I had my offices here, people looked at my business card and were visibly impressed. When I was next door at a newer fancier building – no comments were made.

Yes 100 King West is well known. It’s got to be the most prestigious address in Toronto in my opinion. There are over 3 levels of retail, restaurants and services.

The original marble exterior put in place by the Reichmans back in the 70s is being replaced by brilliant new white fritted glass exterior curtain wall.

Faced with competition from LEED certified new structures in the core - new standard for sustainability and operational efficiency will be achieved with the latest electrical, lighting and mechanical systems while providing the ultimate in comfort, performance and greening for discerning tenants according to Brookfield.

Newly designed common areas including upper and lower level entrance and elevator lobbies, the retail concourse and Market Place will combine modern aesthetics with urban elegance.

Natural stone flooring, fritted glass accents, brushed metal handrails, new landscaping and unique water features will produce an inspired and contemporary new environment.
