Hamilton's and Vancouver's Commerce Place looks like the same key design and material used. Vancouver's is taller while Hamilton has a twin tower.

Commerce Court North (the old CIBC headquarters completed in 1931) really should be lit of up at night like it used to be:

You need to post that in the RBC thread too. You wouldn't want anyone missing this gem.

Unfortunatley St-Lambert, the most attractive off-island suburb by far, is sandwiched in between the likes of Longueuil and Brossard.

I always did like the one in Montreal. For some reason the international style gets me.

I think this is the only bank where Toronto isn't the clear winner, as Tour CIBC is as good if not better.

Indeed. I lived in Saint Lambert as a youngster in 1970-1972. Our first house (prior, we lived in a couple of apts in Montreal and also Ville Saint Laurent). By far the nicest south-shore suburb.

CIBC has a fairy good size office building in Sault Ste. Marie located downtown.


There main branch isn't that bad either.


Pictures by me.

My favourite CIBC buildings are:
Montreal (barely beating out Toronto)
Toronto
Calgary
Edmonton
Hamilton (gotta give some love to my old place of residence)
Vancouver
