The federal government is allocating $50 million towards the construction of The MileBrook, a mixed-use development situated at the eastern end of the Island of Montréal. The MileBrook represents a $340 million investment and will ultimately offer over 800 rental units. Strategically located on the final mile of Sherbrooke Street, this multi-generational project addresses a significant demand for housing and local businesses in the area.

“Rental housing is a fundamental component of healthy and inclusive communities,” said  Soraya Martinez Ferrada, Minister of Tourism and Minister responsible for the Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Quebec. “By investing in our communities, we are growing the economy of Canada, and of Quebec, and supporting the vitality of our cities, like Montréal. The MileBrook project is about more than housing—it’s a community where families can thrive.”

The MileBrook is also dedicated to sustainable development, with plans to protect on-site wetlands, create green spaces, green roofs, and a community garden. The units are designed to be 25 per cent more energy-efficient than required by code and are aiming for LEED Platinum certification.

In partnership with Fondation Louis-Charles Routhier, The MileBrook supports Mères avec pouvoir by reserving units for low- or modest-income single mothers. Over 85 per cent of the women supported by this organization achieve diplomas or jobs. To date, 250 women have benefited from these services.

“MileBrook is an important residential and commercial development project for our borough and for the Bout-de-l’Île,” said Caroline Bourgeois, Mayor, Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles Borough. “These new dwellings will offer an interesting mix of units as well as allow the arrival of much-needed new businesses in this area.”
