The 44-storey residential tower rises above the heart of downtown Montreal and the bustling Bell Centre neighbourhood. The building sits atop a podium whose massing and materials blend with the surrounding context while establishing a human scale for the complex. The setback of the lower floors, combined with a colonnade along the frontage, provides a pedestrian arcade linking the neighbourhood. Several works of art by renowned artists Pascal Girardin and Wild Flag Studios contribute to the social and cultural value of the project by enlivening the common areas and the public domain.
