Canada Lands Company Shifts Into High Gear in Québec and Unveils Models of Three Flagship Projects Totalling 8,500 Units in Greater Montréal

Montréal, September 24, 2025 – Canada Lands Company will unveil the visuals of three major real estate projects aimed at addressing the housing crisis, at the Le Montréal du Futur architectural and urban development event, open to the public from September 24 to 29. For the first time, the three projects will be presented together, accompanied by their renderings.

Three Landmark Projects to Transform Greater Montréal

In line with Canada Lands Company’s commitment to revitalize, reinvent, and showcase high-potential sites, the three flagship projects presented by the Company are designed to be visionary, with social and economic impacts that address today’s housing challenges while delivering value to the community.  

     •    Pointe-de-Longueuil: Featuring over 5,000 residential units, including 20% non-market housing, this destination district will feature public access to the St. Lawrence River shoreline. The district will feature 940,000 square feet of parks and green space, a river shuttle, a pedestrian zone, and a sustainable mobility hub.

     •    Bassin Wellington: Located just steps from downtown, this project envisions 2,800 new units, 50% of which will be non-market housing. The site will also include a new Arts and Crafts District, green spaces, and a riverfront tourist area with recreational offerings such as a designated swimming area.

     •    Côte-de-Liesse: Located on the grounds of the former National Film Board of Canada (NFB) headquarters, this development will feature 700 new units designed to foster social diversity and accessibility, including 50% non-market housing near the future REM station. The project will preserve cultural heritage and create vibrant family and community spaces.

“With more than 30 years of experience leading major development projects, Canada Lands Company is strengthening its collaboration with governments, municipalities, partners, and citizens. Transforming three exceptional sites into mixed, sustainable, and accessible neighbourhoods will help build the Montréal of tomorrow,” said Pierre-Marc Mongeau, Vice-President, Real Estate, Québec/Atlantic and Old Port of Montréal, Canada Lands Company.

A Strong Commitment to the Community Amid the Housing Crisis

Designed at a human scale and focused on sustainable mobility, these projects aim to advance housing solutions in response to pressing demand.
