Thanks to its exceptional location, Pointe de Longueuil is a prime opportunity to develop a new destination district. Located on one of the last available St. Lawrence River waterfront lots in the area, the 23-hectare (57-acre) property offers spectacular views of the St, Lawrence River, Montréal and Montérégie.
The Pointe de Longueuil development is destined to become an iconic district that will include almost 5,000 new housing units, of which at least 1,000 (or 20%) will be non-market. The development will also include local shops and services, a school, a marketplace and a mobility hub, which will make it a lively and dynamic district.
The project is part of a future municipal waterfront route featuring a riverside pedestrian and bicycle promenade. The development of riverbanks and 900,000 square feet of parks will provide privileged river access for residents and all citizens in the region.
Adjacent to Longueuil’s downtown, the future district is close to Longueuil metro station, offering a tremendous opportunity for the development of a neighbourhood connected to public transit. A mobility hub, centralized in the heart of the village, will allow for efficient access to the region’s sustainable transportation network. Improved vehicle access, which is necessary for the project’s development, is also planned, as well as a pedestrian and bicycle bridge to link the site to the Longueuil metro station.
Canada Lands Company seeks to create an innovative development that meets the highest standards of sustainable development, energy performance and climate resilience. The design of the general plans and proposed buildings will include high-performance systems that aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to their lowest level.
Following a memorandum of understanding that was signed with the City in February 2024, several design workshops were conducted that helped refine and perfect the vision for the Pointe de Longueuil development. The workshops were organized as a collaborative effort alongside municipal teams and development professionals mandated by Canada Lands Company.
A development agreement is expected to be concluded in the next few months to finalize plans and an aim to begin selling the first lots of land in 2026. The site will be developed over a period of 10-15 years using a progressive and sustainable approach that is aligned with the vision of creating a modern community in the heart of Greater Montréal. The development is also aligned with the Special Urban Planning Program for downtown Longueuil (PPU) adopted in 2021, for which public consultations were held in collaboration with CLC.
