Apply for permission to build in excess of height limitations in Ville-Marie
Do you want to build a structure that that exceeds street-level height limitations in Ville-Marie? You’ll need a permit. Be sure to comply with all regulations relevant to the area in which you intend to build, and provide the documents needed to review your project.
Evaluation criteria
Your project will be evaluated according to several criteria to promote its integration into the existing building landscape, in addition to limiting its impact on the comfort of pedestrians or the neighbourhood.
Impact assessment
You must make an appointment by e-mail to meet with an agent at the Direction de l’aménagement urbain et de la mobilité de Ville-Marie. Be sure to bring a plan with you. The aim is to verify whether excess building height is permitted in your area (in French), identify the impacts of your project, and determine which studies may need to be conducted.
