dc.descriptionNortheast block clad in stone (just like the Ville-Maire base), view looking up showing the open space between the lateral blocks, left and right, with the Ville-Marie tower beyond at left; Place Ville-Marie or 1, Place Ville-Marie (abbreviated as PVM; also previously called Royal Bank Tower due to its principal tenant) is a cruciform office tower built in the International style in 1962. The name "Place Ville-Marie" is often used to refer to the cruciform building only, but it also applies to four shorter office buildings which were built around it in 1963 and 1964, and to the urban plaza which lies on top of the largest section of the shopping promenade, and between the buildings.
