McGill College Avenue:

Avenue McGill College is the center of a dynamic economic, commercial and tourism landscape since its creation in 1856. In 1984, the Avenue was the subject of one of the city’s first public oppositions against a development concept that would partially obstruct views of Mount Royal and reduce the planned widening of the avenue. The mobilization of Montreal stakeholders to protect the views of its beloved mountain and the Avenue’s walkways led to the revision of this project, today known as the Bell Media Tower and Place Montréal Trust. From this spontaneous mobilization, the Advisory Committee on the Urban Design for the McGill College Sector was born and a process encouraging public consultations was implemented.
Completed in 1992 by Polaris Realty, La Tour McGill is the home of several prestigious tenants. It is considered one of Montreal’s tallest buildings and offers incomparable & unobstructed views of the Mount Royal thanks to the City and Heritage defenders. |
