Royal Bank Plaza

The Royal Bank Plaza is the gold building in this picture.  It is located at 200 Bay Street.  It is almost entirely office space with the exception of the lower level(s) which are retail.  The windows are infused with gold.  The purpose is to lower the cost to heat the building as gold acts as an insulator.  Who knew!
