Problems with the structure and the masonry in some of the wings of the original complex led to the closure of the centre. The threat now is the exacerbation of the building\u2019s physical deterioration following its abandonment in 2013, and the absence of any future vocation. The repurposing of the site is essential in providing an incentive to invest in urgently needed restoration work to revitalize this institutional complex of great heritage value.<\/p>\n<p>The former H\u00f4pital de la Mis\u00e9ricorde is just one of many now-vacant hospital complexes in Montreal, in the wake of decisions to centralize hospital services\u2014a trend also seen in other cities. And yet, these major hospital complexes are undeniable heritage sites given their historical, architectural and social value, as well as their marked presence on our collective landscape.<\/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\">Current status<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content\"><p>Since 2012, the non-profit organization Quadrilat\u00e8re de la Mis\u00e9ricorde, supported by the Quatuor Quartier Latin and present on the Table de concertation du Faubourg Saint-Laurent, is working on a redevelopment project for the hospital site that would include several tiers: housing for families, a residence for men aged 55 and over, a museum, community spaces and artists studios. This non-profit organization is recommending that the City acquire the complex and reserve it for this purpose.<\/p>\n<p>Starting in 2019, the City of Montreal is conducting a study of the site&#8217;s potential for conversion and acquisition. This study includes an audit of the building, a review of soil contamination, a statement of heritage interest, an assessment of archaeological potential and financial analyses. The objective is to identify potential new uses and an implementation strategy, including acquisition by the City. In the summer of 2021, the City presents its vision for the site: a mixed-use redevelopment project that includes a homeless shelter, student housing, public housing and the construction of a new 17-storey tower (and the demolition of part of the complex). The building, which is owned by the Quebec government, is expected to be transferred to a private developer to complete this large project.<\/p>\n<p>In December 2022, it was announced that the complex would be put up for sale.<\/p>\n<p>After reviewing several bids, the SQI ultimately sold the building to Alta Canada in June 2025. The developer planned to build a 30-storey residential tower while expressing openness to collaborating with the nonprofit organization Quadrilat\u00e8re de la Mis\u00e9ricorde to integrate community uses.<\/p>\n<p>However, in August 2025, Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec announced its intention to acquire the site to install an electrical substation. Since the beginning of the year, Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec has been searching for a vacant downtown lot to replace the outdated Berri substation. Following the controversy sparked by its proposal to build on the vacant lot next to the BAnQ, Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec stated that the only viable option now is the Mis\u00e9ricorde site. Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec also announced that it intends to launch an architectural competition to ensure the new construction\u2019s integration into the urban fabric. In addition, the restoration and adaptive reuse of the heritage building will also be considered.<\/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>Over the years, Heritage Montreal has submitted several letters, briefs and resolutions concerning various surplus hospital buildings in Montreal, including the former H\u00f4pital de la Mis\u00e9ricorde.<\/p>\n<p>H\u00e9ritage Montr\u00e9al continues to follow the case closely and to advocate with public authorities for the site to be requalified and for the heritage values of the site to be respected.<\/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\">Ville-Marie<\/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\">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\">Civic Heritage<\/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\">Public; provincial government<\/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\">No upkeep<\/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\">Victor Bourgeau and Alcibiade Leprohon, architects (1853-1884)<\/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\tManager(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\">CIUSSS du Centre-sud-de-l&#8217;\u00cele-de-Montr\u00e9al<\/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\tCategorie(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\">Institutional<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"sub-text-item\">Religious<\/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\tConstruction year\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\">1853-1884.
