The building stock of Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve and what it changes on site

Hochelaga-Maisonneuve still carries the mark of its industrial past, and that is what makes the sector both interesting and demanding. There are former manufacturing buildings undergoing conversion, very dense working class brick plexes, and towards Mercier a newer, more open residential fabric. Conversion projects dominate, which means a lot of interior stripping with the structure retained, rather than full demolition. Older industrial stock also calls for particular care over materials, pipe lagging and sprayed fireproofing are common there.
