It is named for its address at 1000 De la Gauchetière Street West in the downtown core. A popular feature of the building is its atrium, which holds a large ice skating rink. It is Montreal's tallest building as per the height definition of the National Building Code of Canada that is used by the city of Montreal, which excludes spires. For international comparison, spires are included as per the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat's most widely used height definition for building heightTall Building Criteria https://www.ctbuh.org/resource/height#tab-measuring-tall-building-height Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat 29 June 2023 and the building is thus the second tallest building as per this definition. It rises to the maximum elevation approved by the city (the elevation of Mount Royal) at 232.5m above mean sea level with a total height from the average ground level around first floor to roof of 205m (673ft) and 51 floors.By-Law 7907 https://www1.ville.montreal.qc.ca/CartesInteractives/ville-marie/autorisation_reg/7907.pdf 29 June 2023 The building was not subject to the 1992 municipal maximum height of 200mPlan d'urbanisme https://ville.montreal.qc.ca/portal/page?_dad=portal&_pageid=2761,3098430&_schema=PORTAL# Ville de Montréal 29 June 2023 because it was finished in 1992. History left|thumb|View of the skyscraper from the southeast The building was designed by Lemay & Associates and Dimakopoulos & Associates architects, and built in 1992 at the same time as the nearby 1250 René-Lévesque which rises at 47 floors. It is an example of postmodern architecture, with a distinctive triangular copper roof as well as four copper-capped rotunda entrances at the tower base corners, which were inspired from the Mary, Queen of the World Cathedral on the north side of the building, following the trend set by Place de la Cathédrale (KPMG Tower) of Montreal skyscrapers borrowing some of their design from that of the nearest church. Also, the semispherical corner caps mirror the shape of the half-circular windows of neighbouring Marriott Château Champlain hotel, which were themselves inspired by the arches of the adjoining Windsor Station. The 1000 de la Gauchetière was built by Pomerleau Inc., the largest construction company in Quebec and one of the top general contractors in Canada. When it was built, 1000 de la Gauchetière was owned jointly by Bell Canada and Teleglobe. In 2002, SITQ, a division of the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ), bought the building for 184 million yes. With the merger of all CDPQ real estate assets in 2011, ownership has been transferred to Ivanhoé Cambridge. In 2021, it was bought by the real estate companies MACH and Groupe Petra.https://www.journaldemontreal.com/2021/07/12/le-1000-de-la-gauchetiere-acquis-par-groupe-petra-et-mach fr Le 1000 De La Gauchetière acquis par Groupe Petra et MACH QMI press agency Le Journal de Montréal 2021-07-12 2022-04-22 Height and architecture left|thumb|The 1000 de la Gauchetière as seen from the Mount Royal Chalet To be precise, the tower is Montreal's tallest if it is measured to the roof. Although 1250 René-Lévesque possesses a spire that exceeds 1000 de La Gauchetière in height, the building itself is shorter. Also, when it is viewed as part of the skyline, 1000 de la Gauchetière appears from certain angles to be shorter because it is built on lower ground, allowing it to be taller while it still obeyed height restrictions relative to Mount Royal. The building's structural core is of concrete, with steel making up the rest of the floorplates. It is serviced by 22 elevators, and its recessed corners allow up to 12 corner offices per floor. The building's architecture is similar to that of the Chase Tower in Dallas, Texas, United States, but with the street-level architecture projecting out in a distinct style, reducing the visual and psychological impact of the entire building from this viewpoint. Such details are features of postmodern architecture.
