1250 René-Lévesque
Office skyscraper in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and tallest building in Quebec.
1250, boulevard René-Lévesque is a 199-metre (653 ft)[4] (without spire), 47-story skyscraper in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is the second tallest building in Montreal and the province of Quebec, when the spire is excluded, as per the height definition used by the city of Montreal. For international comparison the spire is included as per CTBUH,[5] which brings the height to 226.5m[6] and becomes the tallest building in Montreal and the province of Quebec. The building was designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates for IBM Canada and Marathon Realty, hence the former name "IBM-Marathon Tower". It is now named for its address at 1250 René Lévesque Boulevard West, in the Ville-Marie borough of Downtown Montreal.[7] It is adjacent to the Bell Centre and Windsor Station to the south, and stands on the site of the former American Presbyterian Church. It is connected to the Bonaventure metro station and the underground city network.[8]
1250 is currently owned and managed by global real estate investor, developer and owner BentallGreenOak.
