Victoria sur le Parc is a residential and office skyscraper under construction in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is named for its location just south of Victoria Square in the city's downtown core.[1]

When completed in 2023, Victoria sur le Parc will become tied with the then completed 800 Saint-Jacques Street West as the third tallest building in Montreal.[2][3][2]

Design

Victoria sur le Parc will feature a glass-clad exterior and a prominent diamond-shaped roof that slopes down toward the Saint Lawrence River, similar to the roof of the Crain Communications Building in Chicago.

History

In January 2018, a 12,541 square metre (135,000 sq ft) site beside the Tour de la Bourse was purchased by real estate developer Broccolini for $100 million, a large portion of which was subsequently sold to National Bank for the development of their new headquarters. The site was formerly occupied by a few low-rise buildings and a parking lot.[4]

Construction of Victoria sur le Parc began on 30 April 2019 but was temporarily halted in March 2020 due to public health concerns brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Construction resumed on May 11 and the building is still expected to be completed by 2023.[5]
