QUÉBEC — Montreal’s business community is coming together to sweeten the pot in the city’s bid to host the headquarters of a multinational defence bank.
A consortium of three companies — Sid Lee Architecture, Rosefellow, and the Tsatas Group — are offering several floors in a planned downtown tower for the bank’s offices.
They hope their offer will give Montreal an edge as it competes with Vancouver, Ottawa, and Toronto for the Defence, Security and Resilience Bank.
Canada has been selected to host the multinational bank that will provide long-term, low-cost financing for defence projects by NATO members and allies.
