Where 33 Yonge Street now stands, the Toronto Board of Trade Building originally stood. The Toronto Board of Trade Building was one of the first skyscrapers in Toronto, which stood 6 floors tall, and was built in 1892. It housed the Toronto Board of Trade, as well as the headquarters for the Toronto Transit Commission. The building was later demolished in 1958, which turned the site into a parking lot for several years. The site also had several other buildings which were demolished around the same time. Later in the early 1980s, construction began for 33 Yonge Street, and was completed in 1982. It was first known as the A.E. Lepage building, later the EDS Building, and now the Altus Group building. The building is undergoing renovation and has been rebranded to Berczy Square.Description
