1000 de La Gauchetière, Postmodern skyscraper in Ville-Marie district, Montreal, Canada.
The 51-floor structure rises 205 meters with a triangular copper roof and features glass, granite, steel, and concrete construction materials.
Completed in 1992, the building exceeded Montreal's 200-meter height restriction due to its construction timeline, becoming the tallest structure in the city.
The building integrates architectural elements reflecting nearby landmarks, including copper-capped rotunda entrances inspired by local cathedral designs.
