First Canadian Place

Toronto, Canada

The 181st tallest building in the world

298 m · 978 ft

First Canadian Place is a commercial skyscraper in the Financial District of Toronto, Ontario, at the northwest corner of King and Bay streets, and serves as the global operational executive office of the Bank of Montreal. At 298 metres (978 ft) tall, it is the third-tallest building in Canada, the 35th-tallest building in North America, and the 261st-tallest in the world. From its completion in 1975 until 2025, it held the title of being the tallest building in Canada. It is also the fourth-tallest free-standing structure in Canada, after the CN Tower (also in Toronto), the Inco Superstack chimney (projected to be demolished) in Sudbury, and The One (also in Toronto). It was Canada's tallest building from 1975 until June 2025, when it was surpassed by The One. The building is jointly owned by Manulife Financial Corporation (50%) and a private consortium of investors including CPP Investments. The building is managed by Brookfield Properties.
