Built on a former industrial site bordering the Ville Saint Laurent neighbourhood in Montreal, Canada, Cité Midtown is a residential development focused on renewal and connectivity. This LEED ND project, one of the first in Quebec, began with the remediation of 13 acres of heavily contaminated soil – remnants of the aviation industry factories once common to the area. Each residential complex is a study in courtyard design, featuring unique conditions and orientations. By the time the project is completed, residents will be picking fruits from the edible vegetation planted throughout the site.
