The stages of construction were as follows:

* 1913–1918: 7-storey southern part of base;
* 1923–1926: extension of base eastward and northward; and
* 1929–1931: 16-storey set-back tower.

Today, the "Sun Life" is Montreal's 17th tallest building and stands in the middle of the [[central business district]] centred on [[Dorchester Square]], dwarfed by neighbouring [[Place Ville Marie]] and the nearby [[CIBC Tower]].
