AR Intervention Site: <\/strong>The Devrino Group<\/a>‘s\u00a0condo development at the Lachine Canal called\u00a0Walter Sur Atwater (2985 Saint-Patrick St).<\/em><\/p>\n

About the Developer:<\/strong>\u00a0Part of The Devrino Group’s pitch on their site states that: “Imagine an ultra-design lobby walled in glass, a landscaped rooftop terrace with swimming pool and panoramic views, a state-of-the-art fitness room, and a WiFi reception and lounge area on the ground floor… everything you need to embellish your life here.<\/em>“<\/p>\n

Sorry guys I can’t. All I can imagine is a towering structure of bricks and mortar overshadowing a prime public space and blocking the southern view of Point-Saint-Charles. Of course if you guys want to make your “swimming pool and panoramic views, a state-of-the-art fitness room, and a WiFi reception and lounge area” open to the public, then maybe you would be contributing something back to the community.<\/p>\n

The Master Plan (02) | Ponte-Saint-Charles (Le Sud-Ouest), Montreal | 2013 | John Naccarato<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

About the Location:<\/strong>\u00a0At its zenith from 1880 to 1940, the industrial and manufacturing area adjacent to the canal was once the largest in Canada in terms of both the number of firms and diversity of its output. At one time, over 20% of the workforce of the\u00a0Island of Montreal\u00a0was employed in its factories. Given its historic importance, the “Lachine Canal Manufacturing Complex” was designated a\u00a0National Historic Site of Canada<\/a>\u00a0in 1996, in addition to the designation already enjoyed by the canal itself.[15]<\/a><\/sup>[16]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

<\/sup>Over the last two decades, the canal has seen a large increase in residential and commercial development. In what was originally a very heavy industrial neighbourhood,\u00a0Pointe-Saint-Charles<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Saint-Henri<\/a>\u00a0have become very up and coming districts. House values have skyrocketed and many real estate developers have turned the century old industrial factories and warehouses, like that of\u00a0Dominion Textiles<\/a>\u00a0(5524 Saint-Patrick, now\u00a0Complexe Dompark<\/a>) &\u00a0Simmons Bedding Company<\/a>\u00a0(4710 St-Ambroise, now\u00a0Complexe Canal Lachine<\/a>) into prestigious loft buildings. Complexe Dompark recently celebrated its 100th anniversary and now houses more than 90 multimedia, fashion, publishing, and service industry-based companies in custom designed lofts. The area around the\u00a0Atwater Market<\/a>\u00a0has become one of Montreal’s most desirable residential areas for condo owners. Much of this is thanks to the continued effort to clean up the Canal.<\/p>\n
