Proximity neighbourhoods

Proximity neighbourhoods are the theme of the third edition of Reinventing Montréal. Imagine a diverse, zero-carbon, sustainable and resilient project on this lot.

The site will become a vibrant neighbourhood, bringing together residential buildings, shops, smaller-scale industrial buildings and public spaces, all near bike paths and public transportation.

Selection of 4 finalist teams

In the fall of 2025, multidisciplinary teams made up of local and international architects, developers, environmental experts, financial partners, innovators and artists submitted their expression of interest in developing a project to enhance the site. 

Find out which finalist teams will have the chance to compete to purchase the land and see their vision of a mixed-use, people-centred and sustainable neighbourhood come to life.

Attend the announcement of the finalist teams on April 2, 2026 at 11 a.m. Register now
