Tour Telus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tour Telus is an office building at 630 René Lévesque Boulevard West in Montreal. It was built for Canadian Industries Limited from 1960 to 1962, giving the name CIL House. Designed by architectural firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill with local architects Greenspoon, Freedlander and Dunne, it stands 131 metres and 34 storeys tall.
The Royal Trust later located its Montreal head office there, thus renaming the building the Royal Trust Tower until the merger with the Royal Bank of Canada. The name Royal Trust Tower now refers to another building in Toronto.
Today, it is home to the Montreal operations of TELUS, but also houses the local offices of Canada Life, Citibank as well as a Bank of Montreal branch.
