Description
Le 1000 De la Gauchetière
1000 de la Gauchetière is a skyscraper in the Canadian city of Montreal and the tallest building in the province of Quebec. It is named for its address at 1000 De la Gauchetière Street West in the city's downtown. It rises to the maximum height approved by the city (the elevation of Mount Royal) at 205 m (673 ft) and 51 floors. A popular feature of this building is its atrium which holds a large skating rink.
The building's architecture is similar to that of the JPMorgan Chase Tower in Dallas, Texas, USA, 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.
To be precise, the tower is Montreal's tallest if measured to the roof; 1250 René-Lévesque (IBM-Marathon Building) and the CIBC Tower possess spires that exceed 1000 de La Gauchetière in height, but the buildings themselves are shorter. Also, when viewed as part of the skyline, 1000 de la Gauchetière appears from certain angles to be shorter; this is because it is built on lower ground, allowing it to be taller while still obeying height restrictions.
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 twelve corner offices per floor. In addition to its office space and shopping areas, it includes a full-size indoor skating rink, a physical fitness center, a major bus terminal (the Downtown Terminus) serving RTL city and commuter buses to Longueuil, Brossard and other South Shore communities, and links to other underground city buildings, Central Station and the Bonaventure metro station.

Le 1000 De la Gauchetière Le 1000 de La Gauchetière est le plus haut gratte-ciel de Montréal. Il mesure 205 mètres et possède 51 étages. Il fut terminé en 1992. Le premier étage comporte une patinoire intérieure. Ce lieu est relié au Montréal souterrain (le RÉSO). Sa forme caractéristique en flèche domine et définit, avec la Tour de la Bourse, le 1250 René-Lévesque, la Tour CIBC, la Place Ville-Marie et bien-sûr le mont Royal, la ligne d'horizon (« skyline ») du centre-ville de Montréal. Il est certainement, aux côtés du 1250, l'édifice le plus prestigieux de la ville. Depuis 1992, Le 1000 De La Gauchetière ne s'est pas seulement démarqué par le fait qu'il soit l'édifice le plus grand de Montréal ! En reconnaissance de son excellence, Le 1000 s'est vu honoré de multiples prix remarquables. Soucieuse de toujours offrir un service à la clientèle exceptionnel et d'être à l'avant-garde de son industrie dans ses différents secteurs d'activité, l'équipe de gestion du 1000 De La Gauchetière est fière d'avoir obtenu ces prix prestigieux témoignant de ses efforts assidus pour exceller face aux attentes et besoins de sa clientèle.
