Place Ville Marie is an office and shopping complex in downtown Montreal, Quebec. Its main tower, 1 Place Ville Marie, is a cruciform building of 47 stories, 617 feet (188 meters) tall, completed in 1962 in the International Style. I. M. Pei & Partners designed it, and the text of the article names Henry N. Cobb as a designer. William Zeckendorf developed it through Trizec Properties, and construction ran from 1958 to 1962.
The Royal Bank of Canada was the anchor tenant and still has its head office there.
The complex has an underground shopping plaza, four adjoining office buildings and a rotating rooftop beacon. It connects to Montreal's Underground City and to a suburban transit terminal. Ivanhoé Cambridge has owned it since 2000.
