Each standing at 80.2 metres tall, the towers were the first to break Ottawa’s downtown height restriction of 45.7 metres, which was implemented to maintain views of Parliament Hill and the Peace Tower. The towers feature black I-beams on the exterior facade that emulate Mies van der Rohe’s Seagram Building in New York. Dark spandrel panels and glass compose the facade, and the materials are relieved on the corners of each tower by lighter, silver coloured panels. The complex is connected through an underground shopping centre. Place de Ville Tower A and B are part of a larger complex that composes of the two towers, Tower C, and the Podium Building.
