252 Adelaide Street East — Bank of Upper Canada Building

Property Description

Historic Architecture & Character Workspaces

Completed in 1827 as the head office of the Bank of Upper Canada, 252 Adelaide Street East stands as one of the oldest surviving bank buildings in Canada. Recognized as a designated National Historic Site, its imposing stone Doric portico commands the prominent corner of Adelaide Street East and George Street.

The interior offers a truly authentic "brick and beam" experience, seamlessly combining soaring ceiling heights, exposed original masonry, large timber framing, and expansive window perimeter. The space provides an extraordinary setting for creative agencies, tech enterprises, professional services, or signature retail flagships seeking an unmatchable historic identity.

Spanning three distinct levels—First Floor, Second Floor, and Third Floor (Suite 300 with mezzanine)—tenants benefit from flexible floor plans, modern kitchenettes, private meeting rooms, and internal stair connections.
