The EY Tower (formerly known as the Ernst & Young Tower and 100 Adelaide Street West) is a skyscraper in Toronto, Ontario, Canada at 100 Adelaide Street West.[1] The building was designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox and WZMH Architects.[2]
Original site
At its 1928 opening, 100 Adelaide Street West, was the Concourse Building which was a 14-story Art Deco structure. The building tenant was the Toronto Industrial Commission, which promoted the city as a hub of finance and business in Ontario. The building was famous for its mosaics by Group of Seven member J.E.H. MacDonald.[3] The Concourse was designed by the firm of Baldwin and Greene.[4] Oxford Properties took control of the building in 1998 and released plans to replace the Concourse Building with a new tower.[5] The Concourse's defenders tried to find a buyer for the building, though Oxford refused to sell the site.[6]
The decision to demolish the Concourse Building was controversial, but the Toronto and East York community councils ultimately voted in favour of the demolition in May 2000, with a vote of 38 to 12.[7]

He was pronounced dead at the scene.[13][14][15] The Tower was topped-out in June 2016 and opened in May 2017.[16][17][18]
