Simpson Tower

The Simpson Tower is the 26th-tallest building in Toronto. Completed in 1968 by architect John B. Parkin, as the headquarters of the Simpsons department store company, it has 33 floors and is 144 metres high. In 1978, as part of a corporate takeover, the Simpson Tower became the property of the Hudson's Bay Company. The building today remains the head office of HBC and also houses the head office of subsidiaries The Bay and Home Outfitters. It is adjacent to the historic Simpsons store at Yonge and Queen, which included Arcadian Court. Today that store is the flagship store for the Bay, integrated with the Eaton Centre across the street.
