A meaningful identity project
How do you go from an industrial area to a green business district? In light of numerous consultations, the SDC District Central and its partners will be implementing a series of initiatives between now and 2028 to create stimulating living environments, see the growth of fruitful businesses and foster real sustainable development.
Actions that redefine the neighborhood
The Fonds Signature finances projects that transform District Central by meeting today's challenges of attractiveness, sustainability and quality of life. These initiatives fall into three main categories:
LANDSCAPE INTERVENTIONS
Enhance biodiversity through green spaces and leisure areas designed in collaboration with property developers. These zones invite workers and residents to make the area their own, while enhancing their quality of life.
PUBLIC ART AND URBAN FURNITURE
Integrate works of art and design elements to embellish the area, reflect its unique identity and enhance its industrial heritage. Created by local artists, these creations celebrate the district's past while embodying its current vitality.
HERITAGE SIGNAGE
Provide directions to passersby while telling the story of the neighborhood. Interactive displays and historical objects remind visitors of Chabanel's significant textile past and its current transformation into a dynamic business district.
Our ambition
By 2040, our collective ambition is to become the greenest borough in Montreal.
That’s why the SDC District Central is focusing its efforts on these levers of change:
