It was in 1850 that industrialization along the Lachine Canal really began. The digging of the Lachine Canal at the beginning of the century now allowed ships to travel west and flourishing businesses to establish themselves along its route. Among these was the Belding Corticelli Company, whose main trade product was silk. Although the company had been in existence since 1876, it was in 1884 that it built this five-story red brick building with many windows.

With the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway in 1959, the Lachine Canal quickly lost its interest for merchants and the factories along it were gradually relocated and some demolished. Fortunately for the Corticelli, its conversion into magnificent condos allowed it to escape the sad fate that awaited it.

The Corticelli Lofts are 81 luxurious units located on the banks of the Canal and the Saint-Gabriel Lock. Inside, the architecture is modern and the lines fluid. In some units, wood beams and hardwood floors make an appearance, but the style remains the same overall. The ceilings are about 10 feet high, but the large windows add to the feeling of space and lightness created by the combination of interior elements. Nothing is left to chance at Corticelli Lofts. From the slate entrance hall to the private gym, sauna and event room, everything is done to ensure maximum comfort for the residents. Some even report how meticulously the building is maintained. All owners benefit from private storage lockers and the possibility of acquiring an indoor parking space.

This complex is a true patrimonial jewel that borders the Lachine Canal, majestic from the outside and from the inside it will delight all its residents with its magnificent interior courtyard overlooking the Bassin des Prêtres. For more information about this building, contact us!

The architects preserved the historical charm by drawing inspiration from the original building when designing the 161 condominium units, including 15 townhouses. The new eight-story buildings house apartments with three, four, or five rooms, as well as terrace apartments. The old building, constructed in 1895 by the Sadler family, has been transformed into 17 loft-style units, with two additional stories set back from the street to minimize their visual impact.

The architectural project faithfully respects the character of the former factory. The height of the new buildings, the choice of materials, and the proportions of the façades were carefully designed to harmonize with the past. The openings and balconies were also treated with this aesthetic concern in mind.

Oasis of Greenery

One of the most remarkable features of the Le William complex is the peaceful and contemporary oasis of greenery located at the heart of the block. This green space was integrated with a commitment to sustainable development principles, aiming to reduce the urban heat island effect. The garden is accessible to all and visible from the staggered balconies that animate the new façades.

"Imperial Loft", a slogan conceived by Prével, is a perfect fit for this large-scale real estate project. Loft Impérial is the metamorphosis of eight century-old buildings, the former Imperial Tobacco factory. An ecological construction with a rich heritage that is being installed in an emerging district. Built at the beginning of the 19th century, these industrial buildings were nothing more than sad, dilapidated facades in the Southwest. In revitalizing these warehouses, Prével did an outstanding job. Abundant fenestration matched with period siding allowed the Imperial Lofts to tactfully blend into the flourishing contemporary urban architecture. Each loft is specially designed to maximize space and light, so the interior of each unit exudes comfort and well-being. Sleek spaces, with simple lines and refined materials such as ceramic and hardwoods, are delicately set against high, raw concrete ceilings to create a hip, urban environment. There are close to 600 units ranging in size from 510 square feet to 1,008 square feet, some with a mezzanine bedroom available. What makes life at Imperial Lofts even more unique is that space is no longer limited to the loft. What Prével calls "Les Chalets Urbains" are in fact charming common areas on the roofs. Summer pool, relaxation area, gardens, barbecues and pool table, an island of tranquility with a panoramic view of the city and Mount Royal. A new living environment that adapts to your daily life! Take advantage of a brand new training room and a sports center with field hockey, basketball and volleyball courts. Remember that Prével follows an eco-responsible policy that allows citizens who favour sustainable development to add this option to their list. Les Lofts Impérials is a true living environment that allows its residents to fully develop in the heart of the city. This construction allows the Prével construction group to distinguish itself once again by its taste and the quality of its achievements. A project developed in eight phases that allows the Sud-Ouest to proudly display its title of "the most pleasant neighborhood to live in" in Montreal.

Occupying an entire city block near the Lachine Canal in Montreal, The Éclusiers Lofts is a four-story building with 82 condos. The original two-story brick structure was built to house upholstery machinery in 1873. The building is a striking example of late 19th century industrial architecture in Montreal.

EVOQ Management Company added a new two-story glass and steel structure to this historic building that was beautifully executed to ensure that it did not detract from its industrial ambiance. A real modern feel in a building rich in history!
