Place Victoria is a defining element of the Montreal skyline. As the city’s third tallest skyscraper, it is instantly identifiable by its elegantly simple architecture. In keeping with the international style movement prevalent in the 1960s and 1970s, the exterior surfaces of the property are smooth and unadorned. Hailed as a gem of modern architecture and design by the renowned architect Luigi Moretti and engineer, Pier Luigi Nervi, Place Victoria enjoyed the distinction of being the highest building in Canada between its inauguration in 1965 and 1967.
