Foresters House (789 Don Mills Road) is an office building in North York, Ontario at the intersection of Don Mills Road and Eglinton Avenue. At 95m (314ft), it serves as the headquarters of Foresters Financial.
History and architecture
[edit]Foresters Financial, is a fraternal benefit society headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, that provides life insurance and other financial solutions in Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. As of 2024, Matt Berman has served as the company's president and CEO.[1] In 1965, construction began on their corporate headquarters.
Designed by Kaljo Voore, an Estonian Canadian architect, of Bregman and Hamman with Craig, Zeidler & Strong, the building consists of two buildings, accessed from a raised plaza, with a double-story, fully-glazed ground floor along with a sunken, out-door garden with a sloping lawn.[2][3] Located next to it was a smaller building known as the North American Life Tower. It was converted to a residential building in 2001 and is now known as Tribeca Lofts.
In 2022, Foresters sold the building to Menkes Development, who plans to develop new towers behind the building in a vacant parking lot.[4] An intention to designate the property a heritage site was adopted in April 2023.[2]
