Le 4890 Hôtel de Ville

Eighteen feet up to the skylight. On the upper floor of 4890 Hôtel de Ville, daylight falls from above, into volumes that remind you this building was never meant to be lived in.

According to past listings, the building dates from 1905 and long served as a factory. In 1997 it became a small condominium of 8 lofts, with its declaration published the same year. The brick, the wood floors and the large windows stayed. At ground level, an indoor garage was added for each unit.

Picture just two floors, and lofts that never repeat. Ceilings of 9 to 13 feet depending on the floor, windows up to 8 feet tall, curved walls in one unit, a spiral staircase in another. On the ground floor, several lofts open onto a terrace. Upstairs, units 201, 202 and 203 have exclusive use of a rooftop terrace, with Mount Royal in the background depending on the unit. Based on our information, units range from 926 sq. ft. to 1,800 sq. ft.

Here, avenue de l'Hôtel-de-Ville is a quiet residential street between boulevard Saint-Joseph and avenue Laurier. Rue Saint-Denis, avenue du Mont-Royal and boulevard Saint-Laurent are a few minutes away, and Laurier metro is about a 6-minute walk.

4890 speaks to people who want a real loft in a small condominium of 8 lofts, with a garage of their own and, for some, a rooftop of their own.

Every loft has a story. The story of 4890 Hôtel de Ville begins in a former Plateau factory. Our job is to help you find the one that becomes yours.
