About Brookfield Place

Brookfield Place is a striking office and retail complex in downtown Toronto, stretching between Yonge, Wellington, Bay and Front streets. The site is dominated by two skyscrapers, including the 261-meter TD Canada Trust Tower, with its distinctive tapering shape. Both towers are linked by the Allen Lambert Galleria, a six-story pedestrian passage designed in 1992 by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. Its organic arched structure spans the interior of the complex and forms a protective canopy on the outside. A popular tourist landmark, the galleria sees heavy foot traffic and connects to PATH, Toronto's underground pedestrian network. The complex is also home to the Hockey Hall of Fame, making it an important cultural and business meeting place.
