2025 Annual Report : The SHDM is evolving along with its image
The SHDM’s 2025 Annual Report is now available.
The past year marked the launch of our new 2025-2028 Strategic Plan and the implementation of the foundations that will guide our actions as we pursue our vision: building affordable housing in Montréal, now and for generations to come. In a context shaped by the housing affordability crisis, the SHDM continued to fulfill its mission as the City of Montréal’s real estate development arm and a leading player in affordable housing.
Highlights of 2025 include:
- A new brand identity reflecting our renewed vision, along with a complete redesign of our website to better meet the needs of our clients;
- The start of construction on the Gordon project, which will create 84 social and affordable housing units in the borough of Verdun;
- The acquisition of two new residential properties (29 housing units) and the former Solotech site in Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie, where 70 permanently affordable, non-market housing units will be developed;
- The transfer of twenty residential buildings from the City of Montréal to SHDM, ensuring the long-term affordability of 882 housing units;
- Investments of $12 million in the maintenance and improvement of the residential housing portfolio;
- The modernization of the office and reception areas at Place Dupuis to enhance employee well-being and support the organization’s growing needs.

Information – Heating Systems in Fielding and Walkley Buildings
Update as of February 9th:
The situation is now stable in all eight buildings, and the relocated tenants have returned to their respective units.
Following the widespread power outage on Sunday, January 25, in the Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce borough—caused by equipment failure at a Hydro-Québec facility and affecting a large number of buildings in the area—the heating systems in some of our buildings were shut down, resulting in burst pipes, leaks, and difficulties restoring heat.
Despite the continuous presence of the SHDM teams and contracted workers assigned to resolve the situation, issues persist. Some buildings also had to be evacuated to facilitate the necessary interventions.
Canada Post strike
Due to Canada Post strike, the SHDM encourages you to prioritize the following two options for paying your rent:
1. Electronic Payment: Payments can also be made online through your financial institution, securely and reliably. Here’s how:Log in to your online banking services.
- Add SHDM as a bill payee by typing « SHDM » in the payee search bar, then selecting « SHDM-loyer. » If a category is suggested, select « residences, housing, and rent. »
- Enter your tenant number as it appears on your lease (11 digits, without spaces or hyphens). For example, if your tenant number is 22550-1125-05, it should be entered as 22550112505. If you can’t find your tenant number, contact us at 514-380-7436.
- Once « SHDM-loyer » is added to your list of payees, you can make your rent payment easily and securely every month.
2. In Person: Payments can be made directly at the SHDM reception, located on the 21st floor of 800 Boulevard De Maisonneuve East, between 8:30 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. and between 1:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.
