The 900 Saint-Jacques project explores how architecture can integrate a nuanced understanding of contemporary usage within the residential sector while embodying a commitment to social and environmental responsibility. The sixty-three-story building will house a Moxy hotel by Marriott, a range of rental units, and social spaces designed to facilitate connections among residents. These spaces will include a terrace, a restaurant, and community and co-working areas.

The new residential tower embraces the complexity of Montreal’s identity with a mineral facade crafted from fine aggregate concrete panels, whose assembly evokes a woven tapestry. This exterior structure enhances the building’s energy efficiency during winter while reconnecting with the city’s characteristic urban fabric, reflecting the architectural heritage of Old Montreal, Place Ville-Marie, the Sun Life Building, and the Olympic Park. Located in the Quartier des Gares, the project contributes to developing an area poised to become a vibrant urban hub.

The building’s prime location, near La Gare Centrale, the REM transit network, metro lines, and bus routes, allows numerous opportunities for sustainable transportation. With a clear perspective on current mobility practices and their environmental impact, the project plans to incorporate a cyclist rest area, indoor and outdoor bike storage, electric vehicle charging stations, and designated spaces for car-sharing services.
