Cité Multimédia

CHARACTER AND FEEL

Cité du Multimédia is a small neighbourhood just west of Vieux Montréal. Until very recently, the neighborohood was almost completely an office district, but in the last few years quite a few building have been converted for residential use.

The name comes from Cité Multimédia - a 1m+ sq ft "technological park" or "tech incubator" that occupies much of the area.

POPULATION AND DEMOGRAPHICS

According to Cité Multimédia itself, the neighbourhood has about 6,000 workers whose average age is 32 and whose household income is $73,000 - almost a quarter above the city average.

People living in the neighbourhood probably have a similar profile, perhaps even more affluent, since most buildings are converted into relatively expensive loft apartments.

APARTMENTS & REAL ESTATE

Mostly warehouses converted to lofts. Some new buildings (e.g. 630 William St) try to imitate the same look. Prices here are on the high side, most apartments rent for well over $1,000 per month and sell for over $250,000.
