5-Le 1000
Google 4.6 Stars (37 Reviews)
1000 de la Guachetiére is a postmodern structure and one of the tallest buildings in Montreal. It will likely remain that way, too, since buildings in Montreal are not permitted to rise beyond that height.
It’s a great stop on any Montreal architecture tour due to the building’s creative referencing of the older structures around it.

8- Habitat 67
Google 4.5 Stars (358 Reviews)
One of the most famous examples of Montreal’s brutalist architecture is Habitat 67, a mind-bending apartment complex designed by architect Moshe Safdie. Built in 1967, more than 50 million people flocked to see the building within six months of its debut at Expo 67. Over time, Habitat 67’s commercial failure has become a blessing in disguise. Critics have noted that it failed to revolutionize affordable housing in the way Safdie intended. Still, it remains a one-of-a-kind apartment complex that helped Safdie launch his career.
