Three entrances for your convenience

Located mere steps from the Square-Victoria–OACI metro station, the Hélène Desmarais Building is a vibrant new addition to Montreal’s business district. There are three ways to access the premises:

  • The main entrance on 501 De La Gauchetière Street West
  • The side entrance on Beaver Hall Hill, near a set of doors to the metro station
  • A walkway from René-Lévesque Boulevard West, near the Olympic Flame monument, leading to the north side of the building
