The Bell Media Tower is a tall building, also known as a skyscraper, located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. You can find it at 1800 McGill College Avenue. This building was finished in 1988.
It stands about 125 meters (410 feet) tall and has 30 floors. That's like stacking 30 regular houses on top of each other! The building was first built for a company called the Montreal Trust Company. For a while, it shared its name, Place Montreal Trust, with the shopping mall next to it.
History of the Tower's Name
The Bell Media Tower has changed owners and names over the years. It was first owned by a company called Cadillac Fairview. Later, it was bought by Ivanhoe Cambridge.
The main company that used the building for many years was Astral Media. This company had its main offices there. Many of its French-speaking TV channels also had their studios in the tower.
In 2013, a big company called Bell bought Astral Media. Because of this, the tower's name changed to Bell Media Tower. Today, it serves as the regional offices for Bell Media, which is part of Bell Canada.
