Tour des Canadiens, Residential skyscraper near Bell Centre, Montreal, Canada
Tour des Canadiens is a residential tower in downtown Montreal containing around 550 condominium units spread across 50 floors. The building includes parking levels and a sports bar at street level for residents and visitors.
Construction began in July 2013 on the former Place du centenaire des Canadiens and finished in summer 2016. In July 2012 the tower dropped from 61 to 40 floors after a planned hotel was cut, then rose to 52 floors as sales succeeded. Four bronze statues of Canadiens players, including Maurice Richard and Jean Béliveau, were moved a few metres to Cour Windsor.
The tower takes its name from the Montreal Canadiens, part-owner of the project, and stands beside the Bell Centre. Before construction, the site was the Canadiens' Place du Centenaire; four bronze statues of Maurice Richard, Jean Béliveau, Guy Lafleur and Howie Morenz were moved a few metres to Cour Windsor.
The tower stands at Avenue des Canadiens-de-Montréal and Rue de la Montagne, immediately beside the Bell Centre. Its podium holds nine floors of parking in the first tower, and a large sports bar occupies the ground floor. The second tower is linked to the Bell Centre by a footbridge.
The tower stands on the former Place du centenaire des Canadiens. Four bronze statues of Canadiens greats — Maurice Richard, Jean Béliveau, Guy Lafleur and Howie Morenz — were moved a few metres to the Cour Windsor to make way for construction. In 2017 the project won the Grand Prix du Génie-Conseil Québécois in the "Bâtiment structure" category.
