History

The Bank of Commerce Tower, announced by the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce in 1975 as the bank's new Atlantic regional headquarters, was developed by Durham Leaseholds Limited, a joint venture between Oxford Development Group and Halifax Developments Limited. It was part of a development termed "Granville Place" during construction. Phase I of Granville Place became the Bank of Commerce Tower, while Phase II became the Delta Barrington Inn and Barrington Place Shops. These two buildings are linked by an enclosed footbridge spanning Duke Street. The tower was built by Poole Construction. It opened in September 1977.
