At the time, all ships bound for the Great Lakes had to go through the canal. For transportation by train and by ship, the malting complex was in a choice location both for receiving the raw material, barley, and for sending out the processed product: malt.<\/p>\n<p>The site was also used to germinate grain, particularly barley, used to make beer. The company was a major supplier of raw material for Montreal\u2019s brewing industry. In 1963, eighteen silos were added to the complex. With the construction of a new malting plant in the Port of Montreal along the Bonaventure Expressway in the 1980s, the silos gradually fell out of use. Today, they are completely abandoned and have fallen victim to vandalism.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\t<section class=\"full-width-text  \">\n\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-sm-10 offset-sm-1 col-md-6 offset-md-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-ctn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"title\">Specific characteristics of the site<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content\"><p>To the west, the 11 buildings and silos from 1905, precast terracotta clay modules with stone foundations, were built by a company in Minneapolis, in the United States, a city known for its innovative grain silos. These terracotta silos are the last of their kind in North America. To the east, the 18 concrete silos were built in 1963. This is a monumental complex endowed with many construction details including its neo-Roman design; for example, the arched windows on the fa\u00e7ade and on the upper floors at the rear of the building and the brickwork of the cornices between the floors. The building is representative of an industrial architecture that combines the work of architects and engineers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\t<section class=\"full-width-text  dark-version\">\n\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-sm-10 offset-sm-1 col-md-6 offset-md-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-ctn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"title\">Threats<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content\"><p>Operations at 5052 Saint-Ambroise ceased in 1985 in favour of a new Canada Malting plant at the Bickerdike Pier in the Port of Montreal.

Renwick Development hopes to build 220 housing units, 30% of which would be for social housing. The project would also include some 60 artists studios and several green spaces. The \u00c0 nous la Malting collective, which has been mobilizing since 2013, would like to see an entirely community-based project that would include 200 housing units, a daycare, community gardens, a market, a co-op caf\u00e9 and a greenhouse on the top of the silos. Both groups have stated their commitment to preserve and restore several features of the Canada Malting Co.<\/p>\n<p>Following a dispute between the former owner, Quanta Holdings, and the two developers Renwick Development and Les Placements Luc Poirier, both interested in acquiring the site, Renwick Development ultimately took possession of the property in August 2023. However, the redevelopment of the land may not proceed due to a new conflict in 2024 between the buyer and Quanta Holdings, which sought to reclaim the property for nonpayment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\t<section class=\"full-width-text  \">\n\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-sm-10 offset-sm-1 col-md-6 offset-md-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-ctn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"title\">Actions of Heritage Montr\u00e9al<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content\"><p>Heritage Montr\u00e9al is very attached to Canada Malting co. which is a formidable witness to the brewing history of the metropolis.<\/p>\n<p>In its 2018-02 annual resolution, Heritage Montr\u00e9al publicly expressed concern about the historic Molson Brewery complex and heritage industrial complexes, mentioning in particular the Canada Malting located along the Lachine Canal and asking that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The City of Montr\u00e9al, on the occasion of projects for the former Molson brewery, is diligently adopting an effective strategy on industrial heritage, its enhancement and its reallocation within the framework of the development of the city and its neighborhoods, taking into account the reflections carried out in Montr\u00e9al since the 1983 international congress of which Heritage Montr\u00e9al was one of the organizers, but also achievements such as the conversion of Angus factories and foreign examples and international principles adopted by ICOMOS in 2011.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In 2019 and 2020, Renwick Development and \u00c0 nous la Malting both contacted Heritage Montr\u00e9al to discuss their respective projects and the potential for requalification of the industrial complex.<\/p>\n<p>Heritage Montr\u00e9al continues to lobby various stakeholders so that the rehabilitation of this formidable site is worthy of the importance it has for the industrial memory of Montr\u00e9al.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\t<section class=\"text-items-list\">\n\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-sm-10 offset-sm-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"section-border\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-sm-10 offset-sm-1 col-md-8 offset-md-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"informations\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"text-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"title-ctn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMunicipality or borough\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"sub-text-item\">Le Sud-Ouest borough<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"text-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"title-ctn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIssues\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"sub-text-item\">Mechanisms for protection<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"sub-text-item\">Urban Development<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"sub-text-item\">Urban landscape<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"text-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"title-ctn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOwner(s)\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"sub-text-item\">Private<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"text-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"title-ctn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThreat(s)\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"sub-text-item\">Vacant<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"sub-text-item\">Demand for land, speculation<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"sub-text-item\">Vandalism<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"text-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"title-ctn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tConception\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"sub-text-item\">Architects: David Jerome Spence (1905), Otto Luemberg (1950)\r\nEngineers: Barnett and Record Company (1905 terracotta silos), John S.
