Revival of Mile End Hotel: A Major Transaction in the Heart of the Plateau

Landerz is pleased to announce the completion of a major transaction in the highly sought-after Plateau-Mont-Royal district. The site of the Hôtel Mile End project, partially built and located at 175 Laurier Avenue West, was acquired following a highly competitive sales process, which drew multiple offers within the first week.

Listed at $5.5 million, this 4,951-square-foot site represents a rare opportunity for the development of a high-end hotel or residential project. The site allows for a project of up to 30 units.

A landmark project ready to be revived

The site comes with an active building permit for a boutique hotel with 30 rooms, including a café, restaurant, and private cinema. One of the key assets of this project is the four-storey concrete structure that has already been completed. A full inspection, supported by an engineer's report, confirmed the strength of the existing structure—allowing the buyer to capitalize on the investments already made.

Located in one of Montreal’s most vibrant areas, just a short walk from Laurier and Mont-Royal metro stations, the site offers an ideal urban environment and full access to the Plateau-Mont-Royal’s amenities.

All architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing plans required to resume construction are included in the sale, making this a turnkey opportunity.

Originally, the Hôtel Mile End project was carefully designed to integrate seamlessly with the surrounding urban fabric. The initial plans featured guest rooms in a discreet volume, set above a transparent and open ground floor designed to house a lounge, restaurant, bar, and café (T B A).

The buyer is placing a strong emphasis on the quality of the upcoming dining destination, which will be unveiled soon.

A high-impact project for the community

This project had already captured public and media attention for its bold vision and potential to contribute to the local urban fabric. Put on hold during the pandemic, its development was slowed by economic uncertainty and rising construction costs.

Thanks to this transaction, the project is now set to resume—excellent news for local residents and businesses alike, who stand to benefit from the renewed vitality it will bring.

Maintaining the original purpose while preserving gains made through the PPCMOI process (special urban planning project) demonstrates a commitment to thoughtful continuity and harmonious integration into the neighborhood.

Accelerating land transactions

This transaction was made possible through Landerz’s expertise and the efficiency of its land-focused marketing platform. By overcoming challenges related to the existing structure and financial projections, and by guiding all parties through each step of the process, Landerz once again confirms its ability to connect the right players around high-potential land projects.

This revival marks an important step for the Plateau’s real estate sector and highlights the resilience and dynamism of Montreal’s land market. We warmly congratulate both the buyers and the sellers for this successful transaction.
