More teams to be together within the perimeter
of National Bank Place
MONTREAL, Nov. 21,
2023 /CNW/ - National Bank is pleased to announce
that it has acquired the office and commercial space of the
building at 700 Saint-Jacques, Montreal, adjacent to National Bank Place.
The space acquired includes the entire 10-floor base of the
building, consisting of the main floor entrance area, eight floors
of offices and a mezzanine, and will enable the Bank to further
consolidate its real estate properties. The Bank expects to fully
occupy the office spaces and the main floor will accommodate
various businesses.
As employees gradually move into National Bank Place, the
addition of these extra spaces will mean more teams currently
located in various buildings will be able to join their colleagues
in a truly collaborative workplace.
"National Bank Place is coming alive and expanding. In keeping
with our culture that puts people first, this space will give the
employees who work there an even greater feeling of belonging to
one big team," stated Laurent
Ferreira, President and CEO of National Bank. "National Bank
Place will play an important role in Montreal's downtown by acting as a hub for our
employees, clients and partners that will bring vitality to the
area."
The newly constructed building is designed to meet the strictest
environmental standards and will be certified LEED Gold, WELL and
WiredScore Platinum. The offices will offer a modern, refined and
welcoming environment with leading-edge technology. Green spaces,
including the 40,000 square-foot park adjacent to National Bank
Place, will bring life to the space and increase foot traffic.
