Montreal's South-West Borough

This is the perfect time to enjoy the excitement around this inviting district. It offers ample access to nature but remains perfectly urban with quick access to public transport, the Lachine Canal walking trails, as well as bike paths, bridges and highways. This neighborhood is at the heart of the best gourmet landmarks and Montreal's energy with St-Henri, Griffintown and Verdun nearby.

The Springland-Southwest project is located on a low-traffic street where the neighboring buildings are single-family homes or duplexes. Buildings of more than two storeys are prohibited by the municipal council.

Before the Lachine Canal profoundly changed the geography of this sector of the city in 1825, the villages of the Southwest were of rural or semi-rural vocation. It was not until 1850 that the industrialization of the canal really began after two successive enlargements. The area was also crossed by the first railway of the island of Montreal, which connected the station Bonaventure (now disappeared) to the small town of Lachine, passing through Saint-Henri and its station. This railway is immortalized in the name of the park of the First-Chemin-de-Fer in Saint-Henri. Saint-Henri is among the first villages to be formed on the outskirts of Montreal. Under the name of Sud-Ouest, it is several old cities which were there, besides Saint-Henri, there was the small town of Saint-Cunégonde (formerly Village Delisle), Saint-Paul, Ville-Émard as well as the Griffintown and Victoriatown. These villages saw their population explode with the arrival of the workers who built the Victoria Bridge and subsequently the transformation of this sector into a real industrial center of Canada.
