Business tourism in Montreal is no longer just about filling rooms; it is now structuring urban development and redefining the hotel offering. In 2025, the metropolis welcomed nearly 11.9 million visitors, generating $5.8 billion in economic benefits.

In 1967, Moshe Safdie proved that a "house in the sky" could be created by stacking prefabricated concrete modules. At the time, the challenge was monumental: an on-site factory had to be built to cast 354 blocks, each weighing 90 tons.

• Yesterday's Problem: The staggering costs of logistics and heavy concrete hindered the widespread adoption of this model.
• The 2026 Solution: Today, digital technologies allow this vision to be realized in a lightweight, rapid, and economically viable manner.
