Financial District
The Financial District, centred at King and Bay Streets, is the financial heart of Canada, home to the corporate headquarters of the country's major banks and most prominent firms. With origins dating to the 19th century, the Financial District and its office towers have expanded to serve the growing financial sector's needs.
Since the 1960s, the skyscrapers of the Financial District have defined the city skyline, with towering buildings designed by some of the world's most famous architects, including I.M. Pei (Commerce Court West), Santiago Calatrava (Allan Lambert Galleria at Brookfield Place), and Mies van der Rohe (Toronto Dominion Centre). The area is also home to the city's largest collection of publicly accessible art, found in courtyards, parks, and on the streets.
