Acquisition of a lot to develop 70 affordable housing units

As part of its Policy for the Transfer of Municipal Properties for Non-Market Housing Purposes, the City of Montreal has authorized the sale to the SHDM of the former Solotech factory site, located at the corner of Gilford Street and 2nd Avenue in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie borough.

The SHDM will develop a six-storey building there, comprising approximately 70 non-market housing units of various sizes, ranging from one to three bedrooms.

“This project will contribute to our goal of developing 1,000 affordable and social housing units by 2027 across Montreal. After completing successful feasibility studies on this site over the summer, our teams are now working on the design phase, with construction set to begin in fall 2026,” said Sophie Rousseau-Loiselle, General Manager of the SHDM.
