A modern office building with an ice skating rink in the atrium. In Montréal, no building can be taller than Mount Royal, 1000 de La Gauchetière is the second tallest building in the city at 51 stories. Only 1250 René-Lévesque is taller, including its antenna on the roof, while the building itself is lower.

The architectural contrast between this building and those on the side streets is impressive: modern steel and glass meet cozy brick and wood. Look around and see where you are.

Hiking

Like all of Montreal's skyscrapers, 1000 de La Gauchetière is subject to a height restriction under the city's building code. This states that no building may exceed the peak of Montreal's local mountain, Mont Royal (233 meters above sea level).
The triangular roof made of copper and the copper rotundas, which are inspired by the neighboring Marie-Reine-du-Monde de Montréal cathedral, are interesting.
