Located at the heart of downtown Montreal, the 44-storey residential tower sits atop a commercial podium whose massing and materials blend with the surrounding context. The setback of the lower floors creates a pedestrian arcade and enlivens the public domain. The upper floors combine residential units with a variety of shared services, including a wellness centre, an indoor pool with terraces, as well as a cellar and working areas. Several works of art by renowned local artist Pascal Girardin interspersed throughout the common areas contribute to the social and cultural value of the project.
