The urban landscape of eastern Montréal is about to welcome a major real estate project: the transformation of the former Grace Dart Hospital into a 200-unit rental building.

 Led by the developer Mellem, this initiative is part of a broader effort to revitalize the area while preserving the architectural heritage of the site.

An Exemplary Redevelopment Project

Located in the Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough, the long-vacant hospital is being given a new lease on life through a design approach that honors its history.

The main building will be preserved and restored, while modern additions will complement the structure to offer bright, energy-efficient, and contemporary housing.

Positive Social and Urban Impact

The Mellem Grace Dart project addresses a pressing need for rental housing in a rapidly evolving neighborhood.

It will help diversify the housing supply, stimulate the local economy, and strengthen the community fabric.

Shared spaces, on-site services, and a strong focus on tenant well-being are central to the developer’s vision.

A Model of Sustainable Development

Beyond preserving a historic building, the project emphasizes sustainable construction practices, responsible resource management, and seamless integration into the urban environment.

 It reflects a long-term vision for inclusive and ecological revitalization in eastern Montréal.

A Strong Signal for MHM’s Future

With this project, Mellem sends a clear message: it is possible to combine heritage, innovation, and accessibility to build the city of tomorrow.

Mellem Grace Dart stands as a symbol of renewal for Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve and an inspiring example for other redevelopment initiatives across Montréal.
