Place Ville Marie (PVM for short) is a large office and shopping complex in central Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Comprising four office buildings and an underground shopping plaza, the main building, 1 Place Ville Marie (formerly Royal Bank Tower from its anchor tenant), is a 188 m (617 ft), 47-storey, cruciform office tower. Built in the International style in 1962 as headquarters for the Royal Bank of Canada, 1 PVM is arguably the city's most distinctive building. The complex is a nexus for Montreal's Underground City, the world's largest, with indoor access to over 1,600 businesses, several subway stations, a suburban transportation terminal, and tunnels extending throughout downtown.
