The redevelopment plan for the Place Versailles commercial complex includes the creation of a large-scale residential community, a school, and a hotel.
These new developments will emerge gradually over the coming years, contributing to the creation of a vibrant, attractive, and sustainable neighbourhood that both preserves and revitalizes the local commercial and service offerings.
Located in the Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough, the project lays the foundation for a complete and appealing living environment that welcomes a diverse, intergenerational population. In addition to greening the site, the redevelopment enhances existing assets, particularly its proximity to the Radisson metro station. The intervention aims to improve the pedestrian experience and provide more green spaces for the entire community, while supporting the economic vitality of the neighbourhood.
The development of Place Versailles will deliver 5,800 new residential units—condominiums, rental units, and affordable housing—including 20% social and community-based housing. In addition to promoting social diversity through a varied housing offer and broadening the local employment base, the project also reaffirms Place Versailles’ social value and its role as a gathering place and venue for celebrations.
The renewal of the urban form will introduce a new grid of smaller blocks, thereby densifying the built environment through harmonious, resilient, and compact architectural forms. The planned buildings will frame large, structuring parks and lush green courtyards. These green spaces, designed for both gathering and recreation, will also foster biodiversity and enhance the site’s resilience to climate change. From a sustainable mobility perspective, the project will improve connectivity between the Radisson sector and surrounding neighbourhoods through redesigned public roadways.
