Chevalier Morales Architects
Montreal, Canada

Built on a site historically perceived as residual space at the edge of the downtown core, the 63-storey tower establishes a cohesive and liveable microcosm within an infrastructural landscape shaped by rail corridors and the Ville-Marie Expressway.
The mixed-use program includes four levels of underground parking, a 12-storey Moxy hotel, approximately 700 rental residential units distributed across 48 storeys, and a series of shared amenities and social spaces.
