The Complexe Maisonneuve is a large group of office buildings in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is found on De la Gauchetière Street West. This complex is near Victoria Square in the Downtown Montreal area.
It is also connected to Montreal's Underground City. This means you can walk to the Square-Victoria-OACI Metro Station without going outside. The complex officially opened on October 31, 1983. It has two main buildings, the Tour de la Banque Nationale and 700 de La Gauchetière. Both towers share a large underground section with six floors.
The complex was designed by American architect Sylvia Gottwald-Thapar. It was built in a modern style. It is special because it's the only building in Montreal made completely of steel since the 1960s.
