RBC Centre, also known as the RBC Dexia Building, is an office tower in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Unlike the corporate offices of other Canadian financial institutions, the RBC Centre is outside of Toronto's Financial District. It has been owned and managed by Cadillac Fairview Corporation jointly with the Ontario Pension Board since 2012.{{cite web| title=RBC Centre| url=https://www.skyscrapercenter.com/building/rbc-centre/2220| website=Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat| access-date=11 July 2022}}{{cite press release| url=http://www.cadillacfairview.com/Notesdata/HR/CF_LP4W_LND_WebStation.nsf/page/Cadillac+Fairview+%E2%80%9CTops+Off%E2%80%9D+the+RBC+Centre| title=Cadillac Fairview "Tops Off" the RBC Centre| publisher=Cadillac Fairview| date=December 12, 2008| access-date=2009-04-16| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121229083040/http://www.cadillacfairview.com/Notesdata/HR/CF_LP4W_LND_WebStation.nsf/page/Cadillac+Fairview+%E2%80%9CTops+Off%E2%80%9D+the+RBC+Centre| archive-date=2012-12-29| url-status=dead}} The building is connected to the PATH.{{cite web| url=http://www.rbccentre.ca| title=RBC Centre| access-date=April 16, 2009}}

In 2011, Toronto Star architecture critic Christopher Hume named the RBC Centre and the neighbouring Ritz-Carlton Toronto as the two most beautiful buildings completed in the 21st century in Toronto.
