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 tech/office complex that occupies the southern part of the neighbourhood.

POPULATION AND DEMOGRAPHICS

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. (Src: Cité du Multimédia);

Those living in the neighbourhood have a similar profile, perhaps even more affluent, since most residential buildings are former industrial spaces converted into relatively expensive loft apartments.

APARTMENTS & REAL ESTATE

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