Alexis Nihon Complex

Alexis Nihon Complex is a 223,000 m2 (2,400,000 sq ft) building complex situated at the border of Downtown Montreal and the neighbouring city of Westmount in Quebec, Canada. It consists of a shopping mall, two office towers, and a residential building. Although the complex is typically associated with Downtown Montreal and its main entrance on Atwater Avenue is in Montreal proper, more than 80% of the land it occupies is located in Westmount. It is named after the inventor and businessman Alexis Nihon. The shopping mall is directly connected to the Atwater metro station, which joins the building by a short tunnel with the adjacent Dawson College, and by a longer one adjoins nearby Westmount Square. The original complex was designed by the Montreal architect Harold Ship, and its architectural plans are housed at the Canadian Centre for Architecture.

Stores

The complex is directly connected to the Atwater Metro station and offers numerous services, a variety of shops and superstores, and a food court with over 25 restaurants. From 1982 until 1986, it housed Montreal's first IKEA Store, which due to a lack of space, moved out to a new location. Alexis Nihon also previously housed Miracle Mart (later becoming an M-Store), a three-screen cinema operated by Cineplex Odeon, Zellers and Steinberg's supermarket. When the complex first opened in 1967 the French department store Au Printemps opened it first location outside France. ==Food court renovations==

Food court renovations

In early 2025, the food court went to renovation, to add new restaurants. The construction work officially begun since March 1, 2025. This led to the closure of the restaurants on it, during the entire work. It reopened in November 2025. ==See also==
