The recipe for a successful urban transformation

Turning a former industrial brownfield into a vibrant neighbourhood is one of the most stimulating challenges of contemporary urban planning. In LaSalle-Ouest, the adoption of special project PP-39 on October 6, 2026 shows how a clear vision can revitalize an underused sector.

On a 47,000 m² lot at the crossroads of Jean-Milot Street, Highway 138 and Wanklyn Street, six multifamily buildings will house 600 units — including 130 off-market units, nearly a quarter of the project.

The borough's approach focuses on creating a complete living environment. Rather than simply pouring concrete, the approach calls for integrating essential green spaces — including a 3,900 m² sponge park to manage rainwater — and amenities that support sustainable mobility: fully underground parking limited to 0.5 spaces per unit, 10% of them with electric charging stations, and one bicycle space per unit.

It is a direct response to current needs: densifying intelligently while leaving the surface to people and greenery rather than cars. Redeveloping this industrial site helps repair the urban fabric, gives new value to a neglected space and improves the overall quality of life in the sector.

Integrating such a project into an existing neighbourhood inevitably requires the buy-in of its community. During the eight-day period set aside for this purpose, the borough received two valid requests calling for a register to be held.

Far from being an obstacle, this step illustrates the health of Montreal's municipal democracy: within 45 days of the October 6 adoption, citizens who oppose the project will be able to sign the register, whose opening will be announced by public notice on the borough's website. It is by involving residents that we ensure the building of resilient, harmonious neighbourhoods adapted to local realities.

The redevelopment of the LaSalle-Ouest sector reflects a desire to innovate and rethink the city for future generations. By combining economic revitalization, ecological awareness and citizen dialogue, this project lays the groundwork for an enriched and lasting urban coexistence.
