**Simcoe Place** is an office building and shopping centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The tower is 148 metres (486 ft) metres (486 feet) with 33 floors.[2] It was completed by architects [Carlos Ott](/source/Carlos_Ott) and NORR in 1995. The late-Modernist building was built by developer [Cadillac Fairview](/source/Cadillac_Fairview). It was the only major office tower built in Toronto during the mid-1990s, a period between the early decade real estate bubble and the building boom of the 21st century.

As a special project *[The Globe and Mail](/source/The_Globe_and_Mail)* reporter Mary Gooderham spent two years covering the construction, writing 110 columns on the subject. These were later compiled into a book titled *A Building Goes Up: The Making of a Skyscraper*.

It is the head office for [Workplace Safety & Insurance Board](/source/Workplace_Safety_%26_Insurance_Board). It is adjacent to the CBC National Broadcast Centre and was built as the commercial component of the complex. The design was the subject of a design competition, won by Norr Architects and Ott.
