Olympia and York owned the complex from its completion until the company was liquidated due to overwhelming debt in 1993. Scotiabank led a consortium of banks to purchase the mortgage for Scotia Plaza and over the next five years, it purchased additional shares from its partners until it was the property's majority owner.On January 19, 2012, Scotiabank announced it would sell the iconic building and on May 22, announced a final agreement with Dundee Real Estate Investment Trust (now Dream Office REIT) and H&R Real Estate Investment Trust for $1.27 billion, making it the last of Canada's major banks to divest ownership of its Toronto headquarters property. In 2016, H&R and Dream sold 50% of the building to KingSett Capital and AIMCo; in 2017, Dream sold its remaining 50% stake in 2017 to the same two companies.

The William H. Wright Building was a six-storey office building located at 140 King Street West in Toronto, Ontario, at the corner of King and York streets. Designed by the firm Mathers and Haldenby and built between 1937 and 1938, it was one of Toronto's best examples of streamline moderne architecture. The building was home to The Globe and Mail newspaper and was named after the founder of that paper, William Henry Wright (1876–1951). In 1974 it was demolished to make way for the new Exchange Tower.

The Bank of Nova Scotia Building is a 25-storey office building in Toronto, Ontario. In February 1929, the Bank of Nova Scotia purchased the north-east corner of King and Bay from Canada Life and proposed to build a new general office building there in 1931. The bank hired John M. Lyle to design the structure, and he devised his initial plans by the summer of 1930. Lyle's original design was of a 23-storey art deco tower. Due to the onset of the Great Depression, the bank put off the start of construction. However, the bank's directors asked Lyle to rework the plans continually throughout the 1930s, which allowed the architect to keep his office open. At the outset of World War II, the bank shelved the project formally. In the fall of 1946, the bank picked up the project again, however, Lyle had retired in 1943 and died in December 1945. The bank hired the firm Mathers and Haldenby to resume the project; they would work in conjunction with Beck and Eadie, two former associates of Lyle's who formed a partnership upon his retirement. Haldenby retained the concept and massing of Lyle's design, but removed much of the ornamentation and detailing. The result was a stripped classical design that was two storeys higher than Lyle's original plan. Construction began in the fall of 1947, the cornerstone was laid in 1949, and the building opened in the fall of 1950. When it opened, the building served as the bank's general office and was home to its executives, while the head office remained in Halifax. In 1985, the bank began construction on the new Scotia Plaza, which connected to the old building. Upon the completion of Scotia Plaza in 1988, it replaced the old building as the bank's executive office.

Path (stylized as PATH) is a network of underground pedestrian tunnels, elevated walkways, and at-grade walkways connecting the office towers of Downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It connects more than 70 buildings via 30 kilometres (19 mi) of tunnels, walkways, and shopping areas. According to Guinness World Records, Path is the largest underground shopping complex in the world, with 371,600 square metres (4,000,000 sq ft) of retail space which includes over 1,200 retail fronts (2016). As of 2016, over 200,000 residents and workers use the Path system daily with the number of private dwellings within walking distance at 30,115.The Path network's northern point is the Atrium on Bay at Dundas Street and Bay Street, including a now-closed tunnel to the former Toronto Coach Terminal, while its southern point is Waterpark Place on Queens Quay. Its main north–south axes of walkways generally parallel Yonge and Bay Streets, while its main east–west axis parallels King Street. There is continuous expansion of the Path system around Union Station. Two towers being built as part of CIBC Square will be linked to the Path system, extending it to the east to cross over Yonge Street by a pedestrian bridge into the Backstage Condominium building (Esplanade and Yonge corner), giving closed access to Union Station, Scotiabank Arena, and other buildings in Toronto's Financial District.

The St. Regis Toronto is a mixed-use skyscraper located in the downtown core of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was built by Markham-based Talon International Development Inc., which is owned by Canadian businessmen Val Levitan and Alex Shnaider. The hotel portion of the building is owned by InnVest Hotels LP, which acquired it in 2017.The building is located in Toronto's Financial District, at 325 Bay Street, on the southeast corner of Bay and Adelaide streets. Including the spire, it is the second-tallest building in Canada, the tallest mixed-use building in Toronto and the fourth-tallest structure in Toronto, as of 2020. After it opened in 2012 as the Trump International Hotel and Tower Toronto, the hotel was controversial for its affiliation with Donald Trump, who was a real estate developer at the time, later the President of the United States. In 2017, this affiliation led to calls from the public for the hotel to drop its Trump branding following the president's Executive Order 13769, which restricted people from a number of predominantly Muslim countries from traveling to the United States. The Trump Organization, a company owned by the Trump family, previously held the management contract for the hotel and was a minority shareholder in the project. The management contract was bought out by JCF Capital in June 2017, and the hotel portion of the building was then purchased by InnVest Hotels LP, a subsidiary of Bluesky Hotels and Resorts. The hotel management shifted to Marriott International, which operated it on an unbranded basis as The Adelaide Hotel Toronto during renovations. After the renovations were completed, the hotel became part of Marriott's St. Regis Hotels & Resorts on 28 November 2018, adopting its present name.
