design proposal from 2021

The project aligns with the recommendation to "offer new housing in already urbanized sectors, mainly around public transport axes," as set out in the document Montréal à l’orée du XXIe siècle, un choix de ville.
It aims to increase density on a site that is well served by public transit, thanks to its proximity to the Vendôme intermodal station. In addition, the lot borders one of the city’s main bike paths and is easily accessible from Highways 15, 20, and 720.
The proposed development features a mixed-use program combining residential and commercial components. The commercial spaces will focus on health services, given the close proximity of the MUHC hospital centre. The residential portion is intended for rental and will offer 52 apartments of varying types.
To enhance green space, the roof of the underground parking structure will be developed as a green roof. Ground floor units will have private gardens, while the main roof will host shared vegetable gardens for residents. This emphasis on green infrastructure brings numerous benefits—reducing energy consumption, improving air quality, supporting biodiversity, and offering residents access to fresh produce—all contributing to a more sustainable and healthy living environment.
The range of housing options—including private garden units, two-storey units, small studios, and 3-bedroom apartments—will serve a variety of users: singles, families, single-parent households, and intergenerational families. The project also incorporates accessibility features for people with disabilities, shared community spaces for events and gatherings, and a thoughtful mix of unit sizes to meet diverse household needs and income levels. Together, these measures support a long-term, inclusive response to urban housing challenges.
