An innovative project covering 28,000 m2

Through Réinventer Montréal 2020-2021, the city is pursuing its ecological transition by seeking to re-energize 4000 Rue Saint-Patrick in Le Sud-Ouest. This site, with a surface area of about 28,000 m², offers exceptional views of the Lachine Canal, downtown and Mount Royal. Its strategic location makes it possible to envision an ambitious flagship project that will have a major impact on the area’s residents.
