1250, boulevard René-Lévesque is a 199-metre (653 ft)

Bonaventure metro station and the underground city network.^[8]

1250 is currently owned and managed by global real estate investor, developer and owner BentallGreenOak.

Architecture

1250 René-Lévesque's architecture is based on another skyscraper by Kohn Pedersen Fox, the 51-story

Westend Tower in Frankfurt, Germany.^[9]

The design is partly dictated by the building's position at the former western edge of the downtown core, with its shape forming a boundary between the commercial center and the historically residential periphery (though since the building's construction the downtown area has advanced southwestward). As such it has a markedly rectangular footprint, being very elongated on a north-south axis. Like its Frankfurt counterpart, emphasis is given to the east and west façades, which have opposed yet complementary appearances that strongly relate to the urban area they face. The

mechanical penthouse

above the 47th floor.

Montreal's downtown area is now expanding southwest of the building (that formally was an unofficial downtown "boundary"), with the two towers of the

Cité du commerce électronique

in the west. The height of those towers increases towards the 1250 and the city center, creating a "staircase effect" in the skyline.
