Standing in the heart of Montréal's prestigious Ville-Marie district, 1175–1183 Place Du Frère-André is a magnificent grey stone building that has commanded its corner since 1861. Few properties anywhere in Canada combine this level of architectural pedigree with the kind of prime, transit-rich CBD location that today's most discerning occupiers demand. Listed at $31,808,863 USD ($810.46 USD per square foot), the building is offered as a single-tenancy investment, a rare chance to acquire a true landmark asset in one of North America's most vibrant cities.
Built in 1861, the property spans 39,248 square feet across three stories, with a typical floor plate of 12,540 square feet and a building FAR of 2.20. The building has been beautifully preserved and upgraded with high-end quality improvements throughout; ornamental crown moldings, a perfect blend of historic and contemporary architecture, and refined finishes that honour the building's original character. On-site amenities include a private gym, an indoor kitchen, and a private terrace, making the property equally exceptional as a single-tenant headquarters or a prestigious owner-occupied address. The building is well suited as a family office, consulate, investment firm, showroom, or executive office.
The entirety of the building's 39,248 square feet is available across five suites, all fully built out and ready for occupancy within 90 days. The Basement suite offers 10,482 SF; the Mezzanine, 1,245 SF; the ground-floor RDC suite, 11,295 SF; the second floor, 10,861 SF; and the third floor, 5,365 SF. The property is secured with controlled access and a security system, is smoke-free, and benefits from exceptional public transportation access directly on site.
In terms of connectivity, few addresses in Montréal can compare. The building scores a perfect 100 out of 100 for both walkability and public transit access, and 80 out of 100 for bikeability. Station Square-Victoria–OACI is a 4-minute walk (0.2 mi), Station McGill is 6 minutes (0.3 mi), and Gare Centrale is 7 minutes (0.4 mi). Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport is a 23-minute drive, 11.6 miles from the property. The building is listed by Cushman & Wakefield and represents one of the most distinctive and storied commercial real estate opportunities in Canada today.
