10 magnificent buildings built in Toronto in the 1980s Toronto
Designed by Arthur C.F. Lau, this 26-storey modernist office tower also tends to fly under the radar, but that's a shame because it's one of Toronto's finest examples of the form at this height range.
The various rectangular segments and criss-cross window frames provide just the right amount of ornamentation to catch the eye.The location of the building is a bit strange as it would have more presence if the street to its south had more traffic, but nevertheless, it's a rare example of a modern building made in a historical style that doesn't completely fake.
This flat-iron-style structure was built right before Toronto was consumed with glass condo, and its throwback style is all the more refreshing for it.One of the late buildings to come out of John B. Parkin and Associates, Citibank Place hovers between modernism and postmodernism. In fact, you might be inclined to put it in one group or the other depending on what angle you look at it from. From the north is my favourite, where it shows off the glass centrepiece that bridges both sides of the steel-coloured building.
