L'esplanade Laurier

L'esplanade Laurier is a striking office complex located in downtown Ottawa, Ontario, featuring two 23-storey towers clad in white carrara marble. Built between 1973 and 1975, it was originally designed for federal government workers and includes a shopping mall and underground parking. The complex has a rich history, including incidents of marble falling and a temporary closure due to a chemical spill. Currently managed by Rosdev Group, it is undergoing renovations as it prepares for a potential closure in 2025, making it a notable site for both tourists and researchers interested in urban development and architectural history.
