“Grace,” a whisper carried on the wind through the Bois Grace Dart. This green space stands as a testament to Montreal’s evolving landscape. The Mellem Grace Dart project intertwines heritage and modernity. It’s more than just buildings. It’s an invitation to live fully.
The story of this place begins with a blend of past and future. The Mellem Grace Dart is located in Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve. It aims to reinvent urban living. The project combines the charm of a heritage building with modern design.
Imagine the Grace Dart Home Hospital. It was founded in 1907. Henry J Dart named it in honor of his daughter Grace. She tragically died from tuberculosis in 1898. This act of remembrance shaped the area’s identity. The hospital later merged. It became the Grace Dart Extended Care Centre in 1999. It joined with the Montreal Protestant House of Industry and Refuge. This institution had been around since 1863.
Now envision the Mellem Grace Dart. It features 299 rental units. These apartments offer residents a serene community-focused life with easy city access. Think of open houses. They invite people to explore available apartments. Studios, and units with one to three bedrooms, are available. The first residents moved in May 2025.
Consider the architecture. Two buildings stand together. They share a modern aesthetic. The project includes 75000 square feet of greenery. It creates an urban oasis. The renovation of Manoir Grace Dart preserves local heritage. An urban park enhances the neighborhood.
The Mellem Grace Dart reflects a commitment to the environment and community. It strives to strengthen social ties. It also adopts responsible practices. The project seeks B Corp certification. This highlights transparency in construction, development and management.
The project involves several partners. TGTA has been associated with innovative projects since 1989. Fiera Real Estate offers real estate investment opportunities. Fondaction supports responsible finance and business. Provencher Roy focuses on sustainable development.
Picture residents teleworking. They take relaxation breaks. They do sports. They enjoy BBQs. Meetings happen throughout the building. They happen from the interior courtyard to the rooftop pool.
Today as we stand here in Bois Grace Dart remember its layers of history. It’s a place where the past informs the present. It is a place where community and sustainability meet. The Mellem Grace Dart stands as a testament to Montreal’s ongoing evolution. It’s a place designed for growth, creation and shared experiences.
