Montreal Tower

Montreal Tower, originally built as part of Montreal’s Olympic complex for the 1976 Summer Olympics, is attached to Olympic Stadium and supports the cables for its retractable roof. Designed by French architect Roger Taillibert, the 165-metre structure is the world’s tallest inclined tower, leaning 45 degrees. Delayed beyond the Olympics, it reached its final height and opened in 1987. Its observatory, reached by an inclined elevator, offers views over eastern Montreal and exhibits on the stadium and Olympic Games. Renamed in 2014, it was extensively converted into office space from 2015 to 2019 while remaining a defining feature of Olympic Park.
