Address : 1330 Rue Olier, Montréal
Located along the Lachine Canal in what was once the industrial heart of Griffintown, Gallery sur le Canal Phase 2 is part of a new generation of projects that reimagine urban living by blending heritage with contemporary elegance.
Originally, Griffintown was a bustling working-class neighborhood filled with warehouses, factories, rail lines, and the laborers who helped build Montreal. The canal area, long dominated by shipping and industry, began its transformation at the turn of the 21st century. Gallery sur le Canal was born from this spirit of urban renewal, designed as a tribute to the district’s historical fabric.
Phase 2, completed in 2019, showcases a post-industrial architectural style in perfect harmony with its surroundings: raw materials, clean lines, large glass facades, and striking contrasts of light and shadow reminiscent of converted New York lofts. Designed by the Geiger Huot firm, the building balances character with modern comfort while respecting the canal’s unique spirit.
Inside, the units offer generous, light-filled living spaces with high ceilings, open-concept kitchens, premium finishes, and in some cases, mezzanines and private terraces overlooking the Peel Basin or downtown skyline. Several units are part of the Prestige Collection, allowing buyers to fully customize their spaces, a nod to the art of shaping one’s home freely.
Residents also enjoy refined shared amenities: a rooftop terrace with panoramic city views, an indoor glass-walled pool along the canal, a modern gym, landscaped green spaces, and a peaceful interior courtyard.
