The Fidès building will be impacted by a conversion and expansion project comprising more than 200 residential units. Occupying the end of the block on the corner of Rue Sainte-Élisabeth and Boulevard René-Lévesque East, the building testifies to the institutional character of René-Lévesque, while the row of houses along Sainte-Élisabeth is an important reminder of the residential past of the Quartier des Spectacles district. The project as planned would see a new 19-storey tower built, dwarfing the 3-storey residential structures. The same developer may be planning a second building on Avenue de l’Hôtel-de-Ville, which would be high enough to impede sunlight along the Passage Charlotte, a pedestrian-only lane.
