Alexis Nihon Complex, Shopping center and skyscraper complex in Downtown Montreal, Canada.
The Alexis Nihon Complex spans 223,000 square meters, incorporating a three-level shopping mall, two office towers, and a residential building at Atwater Avenue.
The complex initiated construction in September 1965 and opened its doors in April 1967, marking its position as North America's first three-level shopping center.
The architectural plans, created by Montreal architect Harold Ship, remain preserved at the Canadian Centre for Architecture as part of Montreal's design heritage.
The complex connects directly to Atwater metro station and links to Dawson College through a tunnel system, providing access to multiple transportation options.
In 1986, the complex experienced Montreal's largest skyscraper fire, leading to substantial reconstruction of the 16-story office building.
