The conversion of the former Impérial Tobacco buildings into residential lofts with oversized windows and high ceilings offers a unique cachet.
Located in the heart of the up-and-coming Saint-Henri neighbourhood, the design of the converted former Impérial Tobacco buildings stays true to the area’s architectural heritage. This large scale eight-storey project also brought 1,000 new residents to the neighbourhood, many of them first-time home buyers, who, thanks to the affordable prices, became proud loft owners.
