In total, the buildings amount to 52,025 square meters, which make them 559,990 square feet in size.[2] The structure of the buildings is made of reinforced concrete. The facades of the towers are made with a curtain wall system.[1]
The twin towers were built on the former site of the Drummond Court building. Lépine purchased Drummond Court with plans to demolish it, as it was in poor physical condition.[5] The demolition of Drummond Court started in 2000 and construction on the Lépine Towers began immediately after.[5] The twin structures were completed in 2005.[1]
The name of the buildings were changed by the new owners to 1200 Ouest de Maisonneuve when René Lépine sold the towers to El-Ad Canada.[6][7]
