After first achieving LEED Silver certification for design and construction in 2019, the commercial section of Montreal’s L/AVENUE tower, owned and operated by partners Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada and BentallGreenOak, recently obtained LEED Gold O+M certification.  L/AVENUE, the 50-story mixed-use building is located on Canadiens-de-Montréal Avenue, in the heart of downtown Montreal.
