My fave is 1501 McGill College. But I must admit that 1250 René-Lévesque is a beauty!

BY the way, The CIBC tower is 187 meters tall, not 180 meters!

Le 1250 Boulevard René-Lévesque
Always the first building that catches my eye while I'm driving East on Autoroute 20, or North on Decarie (from Pont Champlain). |

I love 1 Place Ville Marie. Four buildings combined into one! Can you imagine the height if they were stacked one on top of the other?! Even stacked at only twice the current height would be astonishing!
LOVE it! Love. |

Hey, in some of the recent pics of the Montreal skyline posted in other threads on the site I have seen some cranes flying high... does this mean that Montreal is finally building new towers?!

Well, there was teh E-Commerce center which ws completed in 2004-2005. It has two office towers. one of 18 floors and the other with 27 floors.
There are also a dozen or so midrise residential towers going up.(between 20 and 27 floors) but nothing above 100 meters.
