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.

The structure contains 22 elevators, an indoor skating rink, a fitness center, and connects to Montreal's underground network of buildings.

The building houses the Downtown Terminus bus terminal, where approximately 45,000 commuters pass through its halls each day.
