1501 McGill College

The 1501 McGill College building reaches 158 meters in height with 36 floors and features a glass curtain wall exterior in downtown Montreal.

Completed in 1992, this office tower emerged during a period of significant construction in Montreal alongside other major buildings like 1000 de La Gauchetière.

The building's mechanical penthouse displays different colored illuminations throughout the year, marking various celebrations and holidays in Montreal's multicultural calendar.

The structure connects directly to McGill Metro station through Montreal's Underground City network, providing protection from weather conditions year-round.

The glass exterior walls of the building change their appearance throughout the day as they reflect different angles of sunlight across downtown Montreal.
