Bright and spacious loft on the 7th floor of the Lofts St-James, overlooking quiet Mayor Street. Built in 1928 and converted in 2002-03, this Beaux-Arts industrial building offers unique historic character, impeccable management, spotless upkeep, and supreme quiet (Airbnb prohibited). Steps from the Quartier des Spectacles, Place des Arts, Old Montreal, universities, shops, and metro stations, with an outstanding Walk Score. Neighboring the iconic Saint-James Church, a National Historic Site, this address combines prestige and convenience. Rare opportunity: double side-by-side parking for an additional $90,000.
On the 7th floor of the Lofts St-James, 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.
