THE GOLDEN SQUARE MILE
CULTURE AND MODERNITY
Acting as the elegant threshold between the mountain and downtown Montreal, the Golden Square Mile lives up to its name. With a surface area of exactly one square mile, this rich source of Canadian life and culture is bordered by Guy Street to the west, René-Lévesque Boulevard to the south, Bleury Street to the east, and the base of Mount-Royal to the north. This neighbourhood, once the most opulent in the country, also offers a golden array of refined cultural and commercial attractions.
A NEIGHBOURHOOD WORTH EXPLORING
A pathway to inspiration
With four museums, concert hall and countless art galleries, Sherbrooke street is without a doubt the most cultural thoroughfare in Montreal. But here, the art of living comes in all forms, and for all tastes.
THE URBAN FOREST,
VICTORIA STREET
Flanking the museum, an ephemeral park space provides a colourful rest area for people strolling along Sherbrooke street. This beautiful little spot is reminiscent of the many urban garden initiatives in the neighbourhood, including around the Concordia University campus, on de Maisonneuve street.
THE VIEW FROM THE
MCTAVISH PROMENADE
Braving the climb up McTavish means discovering an exceptional urban landscape. Along the way, take some time to sit back with a good book or a coffee. Once you've reached the top, at the entrance of Olmstead's park, you can take in the breathtaking panoramic view below.
AVENUE DU MUSÉE
Avenue du Musée, which runs along the west side of the first Museum of Fine Arts building, hosts vibrant, free activities all summer long. Ground art, thematic street furniture, interactive installations - year after year, artists are invited to lend their creative touch to this transitory urban canvas.
A SUNNY BREAK ON THE
MCGILL CAMPUS
If you never enter through the Roddick Gates, you'll miss out on this peaceful haven in the heart of the city. Whether shaded by one of the hundred-year-old trees, or on the tiered terrace adorned by vegetable gardens, this beautiful campus provides hidden gems open to all.
REDPATH CRESCENT
Redpath Crescent, less known to many, is worth a visit. Architecture enthusiasts will come across majestic mansions - many designed by the original architects of Montreal.

A NEIGHBOURHOOD THAT COMMEMORATES
THE PAST & CELEBRATES THE FUTURE
It only makes sense that an address unlike any other is situated in a neighbourhood
of legendary fame. In the heart of the Golden Square Mile, Le Sherbrooke acts as an
elegant threshold between the mountain and downtown Montreal. The Golden Square Mile
is both picturesque and prestigious - a historic home to the nation's foremost
leaders, founding barons and magnates with streetscapes adorned by grand mansions,
Greystones, and historical buildings.
Taking inspiration from this area's refined cultural and architectural heritage,
Broccolini collaborated with an architectural historian to meticulously recreate
Sherbrooke street's historic charm. The desired design was to pay homage to the
past, creating a very elegant statement that harmonizes with the prestigious
buildings on Sherbrooke street, yet elevates its essence into the future.
Styled with a modern design, the building will use the very same heritage stones -
of limestone and granite upon which the Golden Square Mile built its Prestige.
Meanwhile the conservatory reflects the opulent mansions, featuring grandiose
glass-encased rooms.
