Hudson's Bay Centre

2 Bloor East (formerly the Hudson's Bay Centre) is an office and retail complex at the intersection of Bloor Street and Yonge Street in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada, at the east end of the Mink Mile. Brookfield Properties owns and operates the centre. The centre is composed of a 35-storey office tower and a retail concourse.

The tower stands at 135 metres in height. It contains 35 floors and 535,000-square-foot (49,700 m2), and its address 2 Bloor Street East, at the northeast corner of the intersection of Yonge and Bloor Streets. The extensive retail concourse was anchored by a flagship store of Hudson's Bay/The Bay (known as the "Toronto, on Bloor Street" store at 44 Bloor Street East, the main brand of HBC. The mall contains over 45 specialty shops, boutiques, services and eateries. The complex includes a hotel tower, opened in 1976 as the Hotel Plaza II, a sister hotel of the nearby Park Plaza Hotel. The hotel suffered a deadly fire in 1982. It was later renamed the Toronto Marriott Bloor Yorkville Hotel. It closed in 2019 for major renovations and reopened in 2022 as the W Toronto Hotel. The complex also has an RBC Royal Bank branch, a Jack Astor's Bar and Grill, apartments, and condominiums. The centre has space for 1,200 cars in its underground and above-ground parking lots, multiple entrances located on Yonge, Bloor Streets, Park Road and Asquith Avenue and is surrounded by several parks and the Yorkville neighborhood which is known for upscale shopping. The building is connected to the Bloor–Yonge subway station, the TTC's major east-west/north-south transfer point. There are also below-grade connections to the Holt Renfrew Centre and Cumberland Terrace, which continues westward to 60 Bloor Street West and Manulife Centre. The pedestrian tunnels stretch along Bloor Street West to the Bay subway station, making this Toronto's largest underground network after PATH.
