First Canadian Place is Canada's tallest skyscraper and the eleventh tallest building in North America with a height of 298 metres, or 978 feet (355 metres with antenna included). (However, the CN Tower, also in Toronto, is the tallest free-standing structure on land in the world, at 553.33 metres (1,815 ft., 5 inches).) First Canadian Place is located at the northwest corner of the intersection of King and Bay streets in Toronto, Ontario, the centre of Canadian capitalism. It is home to the Toronto headquarters of the Bank of Montreal, the oldest Canadian bank (hence the 'first'). The building is noted for its white stone finish, unusual in a city of glass, steel, and concrete surfaces. There are six hundred tons of Italian white marble on each floor.

Tour Montparnasse (Montparnasse Tower), a skyscraper at 33, avenue du Maine, in the Montparnasse area of Paris, France, constructed from 1969 to 1972, is the only skyscraper office building in Paris proper (the City of Paris).

Built on top of the Paris Metro station "Montparnasse-Bienvenüe", the 58 floors of the tower are mainly occupied by offices, while two floors are open to the public for viewing the city; the 56th floor with a restaurant, and the terrace on the top floor. On a clear day, the view covers a radius of 40 kilometers; aeroplanes can be seen taking off from Orly Airport. The guard-rail can be removed in only 120 seconds to allow helicopters to land.

At the time of construction, it was the highest building in Europe. The construction of La Grande Arche at La Défense places the tower in a second line of perspective across Paris: see Axe historique.

It has since been unseated by the Taipei 101 on October 17, 2003. The Petronas Towers are currently the tallest twin towers in the world, and it lays claim to being the world's tallest high rise of the 20th century. Critics point out that this applies to only one of four height categories.
