2355 av Jeanne d Arc

In some units, a metal freight elevator door is still in plain sight, right in the living space. At 2355 avenue Jeanne-d'Arc, the past doesn't hide: you read it in the concrete formwork overhead and in the volume of the rooms.

The building went up in two stages in the 1950s, a wood wing and then a concrete wing, according to the syndicate's asset management plan. In 1998 it became a 25-unit condominium, which its by-laws call the Lofts Jeanne-d'Arc. Two residential levels sit on a concrete base that holds the garage and storage.

Ceilings run from 8 to 11 feet depending on the unit, in exposed concrete or wood slats. Large windows bring the light in, and units range from 468 sq ft to 990 sq ft. On the roof, a shared terrace with a barbecue works as the building's backyard. Downstairs, a gym, indoor parking, storage lockers and bike storage. A freight elevator makes moving day easier.

Outside is Hochelaga-Maisonneuve. Rue Ontario and its cafés a few minutes away, the Maisonneuve market close by, the Botanical Garden and the Olympic Park to the north. Pie-IX metro, on the Green line, is a 9-minute walk.
