The Air Canada Tower is a very tall building, also known as Altoria. It used to be called the Aimia Tower until 2020. This impressive 35-storey building is located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It's a "mixed-use" skyscraper, which means it has different types of spaces inside.
The first ten floors are used for offices. The top 25 floors are home to 152 Condominiums, which are like apartments that people own. This makes the Air Canada Tower a busy place where people work and live!

A Tall Building in Montreal
The Air Canada Tower stands at about 120 meters (394 feet) tall. It's one of the many modern buildings that make up Montreal's skyline. Its sleek design helps it fit right into the city's busy downtown area.
What's Inside the Tower?
As a mixed-use building, the tower serves several purposes. The lower floors are dedicated to office spaces. Companies use these floors for their daily operations. The upper floors are residential, offering homes with great city views. This mix of uses makes the building lively throughout the day and night.

The Air Canada Tower is in a very convenient spot in Montreal. It's right next to some other important buildings. These include the Complexe Maisonneuve and the Tour de la Bourse. It's also very close to the Square-Victoria-OACI Metro Station. This makes it easy for people to get to and from the tower using public transport.
