Sainte-Catherine Ouest Project
Recognized as one of the world’s most dynamic shopping streets, Rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest is undergoing a transformation. Learn about the three phases of this major urban revitalization project.
A new downtown experience
The goal of the transformation of iconic Rue Sainte-Catherine is to give residents and visitors a very inviting public space. The urban design places the pedestrian at the heart of the public space. You’ll be delighted by the new Rue Sainte-Catherine experience.
A multi-stage project
Peel to De Bleury (completed)
The redevelopment work on rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest, between rue Peel and rue De Bleury, on square Phillips and on avenue Union, juxtaposed with the square, has been completed and marks the transformation of the thoroughfare.
The widened sidewalks, cobbled surfaces, numerous trees and new seating areas restore the titles of nobility to these urban spaces in the city centre.
Development results
Saint-Marc to Peel (underway)
The work, which covers more than a kilometer, will be carried out in sections between Peel and Saint-Marc streets until 2030. Follow the progress of the work currently underway.
Redevelopment between Rue Peel and Rue Saint-Marc draws inspiration from the completed phases while highlighting the unique features of the area. Following numerous consultation activities from 2019 to 2023, this concept aims to make the street greener and more welcoming. Construction began in August 2025.
Atwater to Saint-Marc (upcoming)
The development concept for the final stretch of Rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest, between Rue Saint-Marc and Avenue Atwater, is still in the planning stage.
Consultation activities in 2022-2023 identified the specific needs and opportunities in the area.
