The boulevard Saint-Charles sector in Pierrefonds-Roxboro has been identified in the City of Montreal’s Urban Plan as an area to be transformed or built on.

The Saint-Charles Boulevard Special Planning Program (SPP) presents an architectural vision for the redevelopment of this area. This vision is embodied in an architectural guide that provides a framework and direction for the construction and development projects envisioned in the area.

Understanding the boulevard Saint-Charles SPP

This SPP is in line with the objectives of ecological transition, the fight against climate change and the creation of quality living environments. It is a roadmap to be followed for the next 20 years to ensure that rehabilitation and redevelopment work is carried out in a coherent manner.

The target area covers approximately 28 hectares on either side of Saint-Charles Boulevard, stretching from the north of the borough to the Kirkland city limits.

A number of areas for improvement have been identified in this project, including:

  • Integrating a range of housing types to meet the needs of a varied and changing clientele.
  • Tailoring the commercial and service offer to better meet local needs
  • Beautifying and greening the urban infrastructure to create high-quality landscapes with a distinctive identity.
  • Diversifying the offer of alternative means of transport so as to connect more effectively to the metropolitan public transport network.
  • Developing an architectural and landscape vision for the artery.
