TD Centre and The Falling Man
TD Centre - Toronto Dominion Centre
TD Centre is the home of the second largest bank in Canada (sometimes the largest, depending on how you value a bank) It is located at the corner of Bay and King Street in the Financial District of Canada. This corner is also home to First Canadian Place (Bank of Montreal Tower) Commerce Court and Scotiaplaza. When it was completed in 1967 it was the tallest building ever built in Canada and the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere outside New York and Chicago. The building was designed by renowned minimalist architect Mies Van Der Rohe. There are other similar designs by Mies in Chicago, New York and Montreal. The TD Bank Tower, is the main tower and it reaches 56 floors and 223 meters tall. The tower is accompanied by other similar Mies designed towers of varying heights.
The towers surround a plaza and courtyard within the complex which is a favorite spot for workers on their lunch breaks. The first sections of the PATH underground began at the TD Centre Complex and spread outward from there. This is likely the building that put Toronto on its boxy skyscraper path.
