"At the heart of the Quartier des Gares, the 900 Saint-Jacques tower offers a contextually sensitive response to contemporary challenges of high density urban living."
"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."
900 Saint-Jacques is a 63-storey tower located at the heart of the Quartier des Gares. The building responds contextually to challenges of high density urban living by creating a cohesive, liveable microcosm. The tower occupies a site historically perceived as residual space at the edge of the downtown core and turns infrastructural constraints into defining elements. The project integrates with surrounding rail corridors and the Ville-Marie Expressway and organizes internal program and circulation to foster urban continuity. The tower establishes a compact, human-scaled environment within a dense transport-oriented landscape.
