Soutient pour 700 logements dans l’ancien couvent de la Résurrection
AI Article Summary
The City of Montreal is supporting the conversion of the former Couvent de la Résurrection by funding a 700-housing project led by Prével and Entremise, with a contribution of $450,000. The site will transform into a social economy hub, featuring housing, green spaces, and community areas, aimed at revitalizing East Rosemont and addressing housing needs. The project will include between 130 and 150 non-market homes, catering to specific customers.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This project demonstrates how public-private partnerships can boost large-scale housing projects, particularly in terms of funding and occupying heritage sites. For Quebec builders, this means potential upskilling in rehabilitating existing buildings, as well as enhanced management of conservation challenges. It could steer innovation towards more sustainable and collaborative construction methods.
