National Bank of Canada

National Bank Place, the new 40-storey head office at 700 Saint-Jacques in downtown Montreal, has achieved LEED Gold Certification and is advancing as a sustainable, high-performance hub. National Bank is one of the biggest construction projects of the past 25 years and is among Montreal's tallest skyscrapers. 

Multiver provided the high-performance, triple-pane insulating glass units (IGUs) with Techoform's plastic hybrid stainless-steel (PHSS) warm-edge spacer to offer superior thermal performance without sacrificing design, and most importantly, durability.

This project is highly efficient and environmentally friendly to make a positive, sustainable impact on both individuals and the community and is designed to meet the strictest sustainable building conventions in the world to offer the highest standards of comfort, health and well-being for its occupants.
