1449 St-Alexandre # 708, Montréal (Ville-Marie)

On the 7th floor of the Lofts St-James--building expertly managed--discover a bright and spacious loft overlooking quiet Mayor Street. Here, you enjoy a rare balance: peace on a street lined with commercial buildings, yet with immediate access to the Quartier des Spectacles and Place des Arts. In just a few steps you can immerse yourself in the cultural energy of downtown. In the colder months, the surrounding historic buildings add a cinematic charm that makes this neighborhood even more enchanting.

The building itself brings remarkable depth. Built in 1928, it is a testament to the era when Montreal asserted its industrial and architectural power. This Beaux-Arts industrial structure once housed offices and workshops from the fur district -- one account even mentions a large hat-making atelier. Converted into prestigious lofts in 2002-2003, it has preserved its historic character while offering a pristine living environment. Building management is exemplary: impeccably maintained common areas, spotless cleanliness, and quietness, reinforced by the prohibition of Airbnb rentals.

Just steps away stands the imposing Saint-James Church, a patrimonial landmark built between 1887 and 1889 by architect Alexander Francis Dunlop. Once the largest Methodist church in Canada, it is now a designated National Historic Site. More than a religious building, it embodies the memory of an era and adds to the exceptional aura of a neighborhood where every stone tells a story.

And the location is unmatched: with an outstanding Walk Score of 100, everything is within easy reach -- restaurants, cafés, offices, universities, shops, Old Montreal, metro stations, and major thoroughfares. Perfect connectivity for combining professional life and urban living without compromise.

Living here means more than owning a downtown condo. It means adding your story to a neighborhood where past and present intertwine to create today's vibrant Montreal.

Finally, a rare opportunity completes this address: the acquisition of a double side-by-side parking space for only $90,000. Ideal for two vehicles or to generate rental income by leasing one space.
