Centre CDP Capital

The Centre CDP Capital was built over the Ville Marie expressway, a substantial challenge. Three existing buildings are integrated into this complex, which is intended to reflect the most recent trends in energy efficiency and comfort. We note the presence of neutralizing double-layered walls, windows that open, raised floors, moveable partitions, energy-saving systems and in-floor air circulation. All the materials were selected to increase indoor transparency and brightness. Together, they give the building remarkable warmth and beauty. Its interior design stands out for its efficacy, flexibility and vitality. The building is equipped with catwalks on every floor, the only multilevel structure of its kind in Montréal. The "Trading Floor" is a meeting area 122 m in length from which you can see an immense nine-storey atrium of fritted glass, 13 triangular dendriform beams and the "Front Office" that appears to be suspended over the Trading Floor.
