Kevric Real Estate Corp is transforming the 600 De La Gauchetière West tower in Montreal into a sustainable smart building to serve as the new headquarters for CN. The project involves extensive renovations to both the exterior and interior of the building, which includes replacing over two-thirds of the facade with new glazing to improve energy performance by 20%. The building will also switch from natural gas to hydropower, aiming to achieve carbon neutrality. The transformation is designed to provide a state-of-the-art, performance-focused work environment for CN employees, featuring larger windows for more natural light and panoramic views.

The redevelopment of the 600 DLG tower is part of Kevric's commitment to sustainable urban development. The project includes modernizing the building's architecture and creating a new main lobby facing Square Victoria. By incorporating the highest standards for energy efficiency and smart technology, Kevric aims to set a new benchmark for sustainable office buildings in downtown Montreal. The building's strategic location in the Quartier International and its accessibility make it an ideal choice for CN's headquarters, reinforcing the company's presence in the city's core.
