Tour Scotia, Office skyscraper in Downtown Montreal, Canada
Tour Scotia is an office skyscraper in downtown Montreal rising 127 meters with granite and glass facades across 27 floors at 1002 Sherbrooke Street West. The structure uses an all-steel framework for both its vertical elements and floor systems throughout the building.
Tour Scotia was built in 1990 to house the main Montreal offices of the Bank of Nova Scotia. WZMH Architects designed the 27-storey tower in the postmodern style, with granite and glass facades. It stands at 1002 Sherbrooke Street West, opposite the start of McTavish Street.
Tour Scotia is the main Montreal building of the Bank of Nova Scotia, which occupies it as its local head office. Its address at 1002 Sherbrooke Street West faces the start of McTavish Street, and its east-side entrance leads into Montreal's Underground City at Peel metro station.
The building connects directly to Montreal's Underground City and Peel Metro station, making access to public transportation straightforward. Ten elevators serve all floors and enable efficient movement throughout the structure.
The building was constructed with an innovative all-steel structural system that enables efficient floor spanning across all levels. This engineering approach represented a technical advance in Montreal's skyscraper construction methods of that period.
