The Government of Canada, the Government of Quebec, and the City of Montreal are constructing the first housing project in the Bridge-Bonaventure district of Montreal.

The project consists of a residential rental complex developed in two phases. The total buildable area is divided equally between a non-market-housing high-rise and a market-housing high-rise.

The 20-storey high-rise will provide 376 non-market units. It will be a key factor in creating a complete living environment with spaces that meet the needs of the local population and future tenants, such as businesses, local services, mobility infrastructure, green spaces, and opportunities for socio-ecological transition.

The non-market-housing project will be the first phase to break ground in summer 2026. The overall budget for the construction of this affordable housing building is $130 million.
