Exercise Five: ANAHITA KIANI (Scotia Plaza)

1.The Scotia plaza , in 1987,with 69 storeys was the second tallest building in Canada. the tallest was the 72-storeys tall First Canadian place on Bay Street.

2.In the construction of Scotia Plaza they made a 23 meter deep hole that made it the deepest building in Canada in 1986.

3.Albert Reichmann and Robert Campeau helped top off the 68-storey Scotia Plaza project. Campeau started building the $450 million skyscraper by himself , but sold half of it to the Reichmann familyto raise money for his company,Allied Stores Ltd.

4.In 1989,a just-completed Scotia Plaza made a tall shadow over the Canadian Imperial bank of commerce tower.

5. This is the view of the King street East in 1907 before constructing the Scotia Plaza. There is an article in 1907 that shows the Royal Bank in this picture and asks : why our city is groomy!!! I would like to know what they would say if they had seen Scota Plaza building.
