Le Port-Royal Apartments, Residential skyscraper in Golden Square Mile, Montreal, Canada
Le Port-Royal Apartments is a residential skyscraper with 33 floors located on Sherbrooke Street West in Montreal, distinguished by its concrete and glass facade. The building houses multiple residential units positioned near the city center.
The building was completed in 1964 and remained the tallest residential structure in eastern Canada until 2013. Its construction marked a turning point in how Montreal's skyline developed.
The building sits among historic institutions and contributes to a neighborhood where classical and modern elements coexist. Residents and passersby experience an area where different architectural eras stand side by side.
The location offers easy access to downtown shopping districts, restaurants, and cultural facilities. Visitors should note that the area is active and well-served by public transportation.
