Excerpt from Wikipedia
Simcoe Place is an office building and shopping centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The tower 148 metres (486 feet) with 33 floors. It was completed by architects Carlos A Ott and NORR in 1995. The late-Modernist building was built by developer Cadillac Fairview. It was the only major office tower built in Toronto during the mid-1990s, a period between the early decade real estate bubble and the building boom of the 21st century.
As a special project The Globe and Mail reporter Mary Gooderham spent two years covering the construction, writing 110 columns on the subject. These were later compiled into a book titled A Building Goes Up: The Making of a Skyscraper.
It is the head office for Workplace Safety & Insurance Board.
