CIBC SQUARE (known during early stages of development as Bay Park Centre)[2] is an office complex in the South Core neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The complex, located on Bay Street south of Front Street, is a joint development between Ivanhoé Cambridge and Hines.[2] It serves as the new global operational headquarters for the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC), consolidating approximately 15,000 staff from several CIBC-tenanted buildings in the Greater Toronto Area, including its existing headquarters at Commerce Court.[3] The development also includes the Union Station Bus Terminal constructed on behalf of Metrolinx for GO Transit, as well as other inter-city bus services, connected directly to Union Station,[4] and a one-acre park elevated over the rail corridor. To enter the elevated park or CIBC SQUARE from Yonge Street, backstage condos have direct access via skybridge [5]
