A sector in full transformation

This newly named district, The Lights District, is in turmoil with the revitalization of several squares, buildings and historic places, including the ambitious conversion project of the former Radio-Canada tower. This redevelopment embodies the renewal of the eastern part of Downtown. Several housing towers, shops and cultural spaces are under construction along René-Lévesque Boulevard, which will help to enrich and develop dynamic neighborhood life in the short term.
