Building it Tall
Construction on Altitude Montreal started on May 3, 2010. Before the building was there, the spot was just a parking lot. The building was "topped out" in November 2012. This means the highest point of the building, including its decorative tip, was put in place. The entire building was completed in 2013.
When it was finished in 2013, Altitude Montreal was the tallest residential tower in Montreal. However, it will soon be surpassed by another building called L'Avenue. L'Avenue is expected to be completed in 2017 and will be even taller.
