Le Cartier is a
the Commonwealth.[1] It is 32 stories above ground and stands at 98 metres (322 ft) tall.[3] It contains four basement floors, four elevators and 188 units.[2]
Le Cartier's architecture is considered to be of
international style[3] and its core structure is made of steel.[3] Its construction began in 1963 and was completed in 1964.[3] It was designed by Menkes and Webb.[4] The developer was ACI Property Corporation, led by British peer Henry Cubitt, 4th Baron Ashcombe.[1] After the bankruptcy of ACI Property Corporation in the mid-1960s, Le Cartier was repossessed by the Montreal Trust Company. It was subsequently purchased by René Lépine and Lorne Wesbter in 1969.[5] René Lépine
bought the Webster family's shares.
In December 2020, the Benvenuto Group purchased the building and has since commenced an extensive renovation program.[6]
