The imposing, two-million-square-foot real estate project will be built on the former site of the Auberge des Gouverneurs, which was demolished last year.
The complex will feature four towers and offer office, commercial, residential and hotel space.
“Le Phare de Québec, with its sleek lines reminiscent of the sails of these tall ships, will stand as a reminder of how they shaped our history,”.
At 65 storeys, the site’s tallest tower is expected to become the highest building east of Toronto.
It will be accompanied by three further towers, each expected to be between 25 and 30 storeys each.
The funds for the project’s $600-million price tag have come entirely from private investors.
Construction is slated to start next year and is expected to take approximately 10 years to complete.
