The neighbourhood
Justin J. Toh's office is in First Canadian Place, at the corner of King and Bay streets in Toronto's Financial District. The tower opened in 1975 and was Canada's tallest building for fifty years, until it was surpassed in 2025. It also houses major national law firms, including Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt, DLA Piper, Bennett Jones, and Gowling WLG, and connects directly into the PATH, Toronto's underground pedestrian network linking downtown office towers, shops, and transit.
Working from a Bay Street tower puts a solo immigration and refugee law practice in the same building as some of the country's largest firms, in the commercial and legal core of downtown Toronto.
