The World Trade Centre, like its counterparts elsewhere, is intended to promote international trade. Its horizontal layout fits in with the scale of Old Montréal, and actually integrates a number of historical elements, including the remarkable Nordheimer building, dating from 1888.

The superb atrium incorporates the Ruelle des Fortifications, itself dating from the time when the walls were demolished.
