Commerce Court is a rare complex that intersects and inspires the worlds of business and architecture.
Commerce Court the complex opened its doors in 1972, but with the inclusion of Commerce Court North into the 4 acre complex, its history reaches back to 1931. The North Tower was once the tallest building in the British Empire. With its stunning vaulted gold-coffered ceiling and classic Art-Deco style, the North Tower was a showplace in its time and today, remains a treasured heritage building in Toronto’s financial core and a major component of Commerce Court. When the four building vision was completed, it changed the Toronto skyline and helped modernize the financial core as we know it today. The new buildings combined modernist materials with traditional stone to create an integrated design that was in harmony with the original North Tower, introducing a modern vision for an emerging city. Commerce Court West, the largest of the four buildings, with its enduring imperial stainless steel exterior, remains a landmark property on Toronto’s skyline and to this day, is recognized around the world as one of I.M. Pei's most stunning, modernist creations.
