Tour Terminal, International Style skyscraper in downtown Montreal, Canada
Description
Tour Terminal is a 30-story office building at 800 René-Lévesque Boulevard West with a concrete and glass facade standing 125 meters tall. The structure houses corporate offices and sits within Montreal's downtown business district.
History
The building was completed in 1966 as the final phase of Canadian National developments in the area. This completion marked the end of a major urban transformation project that also created Central Station and the Queen Elizabeth Hotel.
Culture
The building represents International Style architecture from the mid-20th century, with clean lines and functional design that shaped Montreal's downtown. It remains part of the city's corporate identity and business landscape.
Practical
The building has 13 elevators for efficient vertical movement throughout the 30 floors. Access to interior spaces is generally limited to building tenants, but the exterior can be viewed from the street and nearby public areas.
Did you know?
The building sits directly across from Place Ville-Marie, creating a striking contrast between two architectural approaches to corporate Montreal. This proximity makes the location a key intersection where different design eras meet.
