The neighbourhood
EY Law's head office sits inside EY Tower at 100 Adelaide Street West, in Toronto's Financial District. The 42-storey tower, completed in 2017 and certified LEED Platinum, was built around the surviving facade of the 1928 Concourse Building, an Art Deco office block that once housed the Toronto Industrial Commission. That older building's arched entrance and its mosaic frieze by Group of Seven painter J.E.H. MacDonald were preserved and worked into the new tower's base, so a firm doing corporate, tax and immigration work for businesses today operates from a site with its own layer of Toronto architectural history, a short walk from the King and Bay Streets intersection that anchors the rest of the city's banking and legal community.
