HUMANITI : MONTREAL ’ S FIRST VERTICAL CITY
A NEW DYNAMIC SPACE FOR THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE
Located at the crossroads of the International district , the Quartier des spectacles , and Old Montreal , Humaniti is Montreal ’ s tallest mixed-use community . It includes a luxury hotel , rental units , restaurants , boutiques , and public spaces . Its unique H-shaped design promotes a dialogue and openness across its 39 floors and differing vocations . The multifunctional plaza is an extension of the magnificent Place Jean-Paul Riopelle , named after the internationally renowned Quebec painter and sculptor , that faces the project .
The objective was to create a tower that would have a presence in the Montreal city skyline , while also creating a sense of community in a hyper-dense area . Canadian design firm , Lemay , was brought in as lead architect , while sister brand , Lemay + Escobar , crafted the interiors of the hotel .
