**Potential opportunities to investigate include:**
* Commercial or entertainment use on the main level * Continued nightlife/bar or hospitality potential * Potential short-term rental opportunities on the upper levels, **subject to confirmation of current zoning, municipal regulations and Airbnb/short-term rental eligibility** * Repositioning or redevelopment possibilities * A unique owner-user or investment opportunity on one of Montréal's most recognizable streets
**Important:** Any short-term rental/Airbnb opportunity and the status or transferability of any existing **bar/alcohol permit must be independently verified with the City of Montréal and the appropriate authorities before relying on these uses.**
