Overview

Designed by Chapman and Oxley, and completed in 1928,[4] the building was the tallest in the city for one year, until the construction of the Royal York Hotel. Henry Falk, a New York entrepreneur, was the builder responsible for Sterling Tower's construction along with local firm Yolles & Rotenberg. The Sterling Tower was part of Toronto's late 1920s building boom.

Recognition

On 18 August 1976, Sterling Tower was adopted by the City Council of Toronto as an architectural/contextual Heritage Property.[5]
