A New Chapter for Montreal: Place Versailles is Transforming… and You Could Be Part of It

If you've been desperately searching for affordable housing in Montreal—especially in a well-connected, up-and-coming neighborhood—keep your eyes on what’s unfolding at Place Versailles.

Place Versailles - 1968

For decades, this shopping center has left its mark on the East End of Montreal. For some, it’s a nostalgic icon; for others, a symbol of outdated charm. Today, this well-known landmark is about to give way to an entirely new district, designed to meet the real needs of the people who live here… people like you.

The project is ambitious: more than 5,000 housing units, including social housing, public parks, local shops, office spaces, and even a school—all just steps from the Radisson metro station. This isn’t just about constructing buildings; it’s about creating a vibrant, complete community where people can live, work, move around without a car, and raise their families.

Yes, challenges lie ahead—the construction could span 25 years, and some nearby residents are already voicing concerns about the short-term disruptions. But what’s being built here is Montreal’s future: a more human, more accessible urban model.
