Pointe-de-Longueuil

CLC’s Pointe-de-Longueuil redevelopment project is still at an early stage, but already promises to play a major role in the revitalization of the waterfront area of the City of Longueuil, which is located directly across the St. Lawrence River from Montréal. This prestigious property, with its spectacular views, is also adjacent to the city’s downtown core and subway node -- providing CLC with a great development opportunity.

In 2002, CLC reached an agreement with Transport Canada to purchase approximately 180 properties located along the St. Lawrence Seaway. These properties, of varying sizes, were considered surplus to the real estate needs of the Government of Canada. CLC formally acquired the property in June 2006 and has begun discussions with the City of Longueuil on possible future uses for the site. The property totals just over 57 acres (23.1 hectares) and is zoned for both commercial and residential use. CLC is currently in consultations with the City of Longueuil and other stakeholders to develop a vision for the property combining residential and retail uses, while also giving local residents access to new parks and recreational space.

The timeline for development of the Pointe-de-Longueuil project is currently only in the study stage. CLC intends to initiate consultations in the future to allow interested parties to have their say on appropriate uses for the property, which will allow for the value of the property to be optimized for both the local community and the City of Longueuil.
