Le Cartier's architecture is considered to be of international style[3] and its core structure is made of steel.[3] Its construction began in 1963 and was completed in 1964.[3] It was designed by Menkes and Webb.[4] The developer was ACI Property Corporation, led by British peer Henry Cubitt, 4th Baron Ashcombe.[1] After the bankruptcy of ACI Property Corporation in the mid-1960s, Le Cartier was repossessed by the Montreal Trust Company. It was subsequently purchased by René Lépine and Lorne Wesbter in 1969.[5] René Lépine bought the Webster family's shares.

In December 2020, the Benvenuto Group purchased the building and has since commenced an extensive renovation program.[6]
