First Canadian Place is the largest building in Canada and was the sixth tallest in the world when it was completed in 1976.
The building is owned by Brookfield Office Properties. In 2009, after one of the building's marble facade slabs fell off, the company announced that it would replace each of the tower's 45,000 panels with new ones in glass. The renovation took three years to complete.
The office building features 120 stores, 6 restaurants, 30 eateries, medical centre, spas, beauty salons and a barber shop.
