Project
AP018.S1.1963.PR01
Description:
This project series documents the Place du Canada office building in Montreal from 1963-1967. The office identified the project number as 63M4. This project was commissioned by Canadian Pacific Investments and consisted of a 27-storey skyscraper with a penthouse and 5 levels of parking, located at the corners of St. Antoine and Windsor (modern day Peel) Streets. The building totaled 581,500 square feet and was built onto the historic Château Champlain hotel at its base where the two buildings shared a podium. It also included a plaza level with landscaped outdoor areas. The project is recorded through drawings, textual records and a presentation photo board dating from around 1966-1967. The drawings are all sets of reprographic copies of architectural, structural, electrical and mechanical drawings, while the textual records consist of specifications.
