Tour Telus

Tour Telus, Office skyscraper in Downtown Montreal, Canada

Tour Telus is a 34-storey office tower at 630 boulevard René-Lévesque Ouest in Montreal, standing 135.6 m (445 ft) tall. Designed by Gordon Bunshaft of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill with local architects Greenspoon, Freedlander and Dunne, it is an International Style building with a straightforward steel frame and clean geometric lines.

Announced in January 1959, the tower was built for Canadian Industries Limited, which signed as main tenant that May and gave it its first name, CIL House. It was designed by Gordon Bunshaft of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill with local architects Greenspoon, Freedlander and Dunne. When Montreal's financial district moved from St. James Street to Dorchester Boulevard West in the 1960s, the building became an annex headquarters of the Bank of Montreal. Royal Trust later held naming rights until its merger with the Royal Bank of Canada.

The tower's name changed with its main tenants: it opened as C-I-L House after Canadian Industries Limited took naming rights in 1959, later carried the Royal Trust name, and today bears that of Telus, which runs its Montreal operations and the Telus Health Solutions head office here. A Bank of Montreal branch still operates in the building.

The building sits at 630 Boulevard René-Lévesque Ouest and connects conveniently to the Square-Victoria metro station plus several bus routes. Its downtown location makes it accessible by public transportation with multiple arrival options.

The building was announced in January 1959, and Canadian Industries Limited signed as main tenant that May, taking naming rights and giving the tower its first name, CIL House. Its address, 630 boulevard René-Lévesque Ouest, was then Dorchester Boulevard West, the artery that became Canada's financial centre.
