Commerce Court
Commerce Court is a cluster of four office buildings located in the financial district on King Street and Bay Street. The main tenant is the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. The first building, now known as Commerce Court North, was built in 1930 as the headquarters of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, a precursor bank to the current main tenant. Designed by the firm Pearson and Darling, the 34-storey tower was the tallest building in the British Empire/Commonwealth until 1962. At the time of its construction, the building was one of the most opulent corporate headquarters in Canada.
