    Can Montreal's Quartier Molson solve the heritage paradox?

    How a 238-year-old industrial legacy is being transformed into a waterfront neighbourhood of urban repair.

    Can Montreal's Quartier Molson solve the heritage paradox?Photography by Adrien Sallandrouze Photographe & Drowster / Renderings by MONTONI

    In urban development, heritage preservation typically means protecting buildings from change, but what happens when the most meaningful way to honour a site's legacy is to completely transform it?

    Preserving the soul of a place while giving it an entirely new purpose is the heritage paradox that designers face everywhere, and in Montreal, the Quartier Molson project is testing one ambitious answer: Turning an iconic industrial site into a residential neighbourhood that provides another way to reconnect thousands of Montrealers to their waterfront for the first time in generations.

    Standing on the site of the former Molson brewery, with the Saint-Lawrence River stretching out beyond the railway tracks, it's easy to imagine John Molson's vision taking shape in 1786. What's harder to picture is how this same stretch of waterfront—nearly half a kilometre of prime real estate that has sat largely isolated from Montreal's urban fabric for decades.
