230 Notre-Dame West is an exceptional residential project rising within the iconic landscape of Old Montreal. As the first development of its scale in the area in over twenty-five years, it respectfully integrates into the historical context and dialogue with its surroundings.

In response to a strong demand for housing in Old Montreal, this seven-story building offers a diverse range of rental units, varying in size and typology, all situated in the heart of this historically rich site. Neighbouring heritage sites and landmarks such as Notre-Dame Basilica and the Old Port of Montreal, this architectural element delicately fits into the poetic essence of the city’s historic center while standing as a testament to our contemporary era.

Mindful of the importance of contributing to green space creation in Old Montreal, the project includes a suspended garden and a linear promenade accessible to residents, which runs the length of the complex. Visible from the sidewalks of Saint-Jean and Saint-François-Xavier streets, these elements bring a refreshing touch to the landscape for the many passersby exploring this bustling area of Montreal.

The building’s interior envelope contrasts with the traditional appearance of its exterior, featuring a sleek design that reflects natural light. It supports the suspended garden while aiming to serve as a bridge between two distinct eras.
