El Eaton Centre de Montreal es un centro comercial ubicado en Montreal, Quebec, Canadá. Se encuentra en el corazón de la ciudad subterránea de Montreal, y está conectado con el Metro de Montreal a través de la estación de McGill
Montreal Eaton Centre está situado en la calle Sainte Catherine, y se encuentra junto a la antigua tienda por departamentos de Eaton (ahora un complejo comercial y de oficinas conocido como el Complexe Les Ailes). El centro está conectado a la estación de metro McGill y la ciudad subterránea de Montreal. Su entrada principal está en el lado norte de la calle Saint Catherine, justo al este de la Plaza de Montreal Fideicomiso.
El centro comercial cuenta con cuatro niveles abiertos al público y contiene más de un centenar de tiendas y comercios, y un patio de comidas.
The site that the Montreal Eaton Centre occupies was previously the Les Terrasses mall, which operated from 1976 to 1987. It was built atop the now-defunct Victoria Street, the road and its buildings having been expropriated for construction of the mall.
As with the existing mall, Les Terrasses was connected to the Metro, the Underground City and the now-defunct Eaton's department store, however it differed in many respects from the current Eaton Centre. In particular, the mall layout was a triangular spiral, with gradually-rising interconnected floors, approximately 45 feet (14 m) high in total. Though it had three escalators, one at each point of the triangle, patrons could gradually walk to the top of the mall.[1] Floors were colour-coded and the mall was adorned with trees, plants and ivy. It housed 140 stores,[2] each facing towards the centre of the triangle. It was demolished after only one decade of use and, following extensive construction, reopened as the Montreal Eaton Centre in 1991. Eaton's department store, for which it was named, closed in 1999.
Les Terrasses/Montreal Eaton Centre was managed by Rouses Quebec Corporation Development and York Hannover Development (from 1978 to 1993). In September 1997, after the demise of Services de Gestion CEM Inc., Cadillac Fairview Corporation Ltd. took over the shopping centre.
On July 1, 2000, Ivanhoe Cambridge (then known as Ivanhoe) acquired the mall through an exchange of assets. Cadillac Fairview ceded the Montreal Eaton Centre in exchange of Ivanhoe's stakes in Carrefour Laval and Promenades Saint-Bruno.
On April 19, 2013, Musée Grévin Montreal, the first overseas Grévin was opened on the fifth floor of the mall.[3]
