The CIBC Building is a skyscraper in the city of Montréal. It measures 187 meters (613 feet) in height and counts fourty-five storeys. The building holds offices for the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and other companies.

Built in 1962 only a few months before Place Ville-Marie , the CIBC Building was the tallest building in Canada and the entire British Commonwealth when it was first built. This building, located on 1250 René-Lévesque is also part of Montréal's "big five" tallest buildings 1000 de La Gauchetière, 1250 Boulevard René-Lévesque, Tour de la Bourse, Place Ville-Marie and finaly the CIBC building. This building is located right on Dorchester Square facing the imposing but dwarfed Sun Life Building and seems that it will remain the city's fifth tallest building for a long time to come as there are no plans to build anything that tall.
