MONTREAL | Victoria sur le Parc (700 St. Jacques) | 200 M / 656 FT | 56 FLOORS
Montreal will have a new tallest residential building. Broccolini wants to build a 56-floor mix-use building downtown. 8-floors will be office/retail, 400 condo units and 600,000 sq. ft total. Sales should start this fall and will be built next to Banque National's new HQ, which will be the biggest office tower to be built in Montreal since 1992.

This will be THE corner of downtown Montreal to keep an eye on for the next few years. In addition to the Quad Windsor and vicinity which is showing no signs of letting up
Way to go Montreal, that looks fantastic. I'm seeing on the database that it is mixed-use, so is it like part hotel, part residential? Or what are the uses?

Montreal hasn't "skyscraped" up to 200m since the construction of the IBM Marathon Tower (1250 René Lévesque) and 1000 de la Gauchetière in the early 1990s. It took nearly 30 years - qu'on est patient, les fans de gratte-ciel à Montréal! So this (and the National Bank tower next door are sort-of landmarks in our skyscraper construction history. Plus, if I'm not mistaken, these two towers will instantly become number 2 and number 3 in height in Montreal once completed... no? Or more like 3 and 4, if we include the mast atop 1250.
Now, who's going to dare to be the first to surpass 1000 De La Gauchetière, even if it's only by a couple of metres, to remain within our infamous height limits?
