context_page_description: Place du Portage is a large office complex in the Hull sector of Gatineau, Quebec, Canada, situated along Boulevard Maisonneuve and facing the Ottawa River. It is owned and occupied by the Federal Government of Canada.
  Place du Portage consists of four phases which were built in different stages during the 1970s and early 80s. The office complex was built in order to revitalize Hull's decaying downtown core and also to increase the proportion of the federal workforce in the overall National Capital Region. Although the installation of thousands of jobs in the Hull and Gatineau area has resulted in significant economic benefits to local businesses and the real estate market, some people feel that the complex has transformed downtown Hull in some negative ways. Much of the old downtown core was replaced with a series of massive towers and approximately 4,000 residents and businesses were displaced in the area that was once the town's main commercial area.
  The whole complex accommodates approximately 10,000 office workers. That makes Place du Portage the biggest office complex in the National Capital Region.
context_section_description: Place du Portage I is the second tallest office tower in Hull, after Terrasses de la Chaudière. It has 25 floors, is 101 metres (331 ft) high, and completed in 1973, with an approximate gross surface area of 38,000 square metres (410,000 sq ft).
  Place du Portage I accommodates approximately 1,200 office workers, between the Canadian Intellectual Property Office, and the Competition Bureau.
