The Toronto-Dominion Bank Tower was the first building built as part of the the Toronto-Dominion Centre in downtown Toronto. The Bank Tower stands at 56 stories tall, making it the 6th tallest in the city.
The original idea for the Toronto-Dominion (TD) Centre was to create the largest concrete building in the British Commonwealth at that time. That idea was scrapped and Mies van der Rohe entered into the picture. The TD Centre was commissioned by Allen Lambert, the chairman of the Toronto Dominion Bank.
The building features the typical Mies van der Rohe's black steel I-shaped beam on the facade. The building is basically comprised of black steel elements and glazing.
