Land acquisition expertise in Montreal. Zoning analysis, development potential assessment, and negotiation for investors and developers. OACIQ H2731.
Residential Lots
Single-family and multi-unit residential lots across Montreal boroughs. Ideal for custom home builds, semi-detached projects, or small multiplex development.
Commercial Land
Zoned commercial or mixed-use sites in high-traffic corridors. Suited for retail plazas, mixed-use buildings, or sale to commercial developers seeking strategic locations.
Infill Development
Underutilized or vacant lots embedded in established neighbourhoods. Infill sites benefit from existing infrastructure, transit access, and neighbourhood demand without greenfield risk.
Industrial Land
Serviced industrial land in Saint-Laurent, LaSalle, and the East End. Suitable for logistics, light manufacturing, or conversion to mixed-use and creative workspace.
Zoning Analysis
Every land transaction begins with a thorough zoning review. Jeremy examines the borough’s Plan d’urbanisme, permitted uses, density ratios (FSI/COS), and height limits to establish true development potential.
Permit Timeline
Permit timelines in Montreal vary significantly by borough and project type. Jeremy’s network of architects and planners provides realistic timelines before you commit capital, avoiding costly surprises.
Servicing & Infrastructure
Unserviced or under-serviced land requires significant investment before development can begin. Jeremy identifies existing service connections, capacity issues, and cost estimates for water, sewer, and electrical.
Market Value
Raw land valuation requires analysis of comparables, development potential, carrying costs, and exit scenarios. Jeremy builds a financial model for every land acquisition to ensure price discipline and return clarity.

How is land zoned in Montreal?
Zoning is set by the City of Montreal’s Plan d’urbanisme and each borough’s by-laws. Every lot carries designations for permitted use, maximum height, density ratios (FSI/lot coverage), and setbacks. Jeremy analyzes these parameters — including variance potential — before any acquisition.
What is infill development?
Infill development means building on vacant or underutilized lots within established neighbourhoods. Montreal offers significant infill opportunities, particularly in densifying boroughs like Rosemont, Côte-des-Neiges, and Saint-Laurent. These sites benefit from existing infrastructure and strong rental demand.
How long does land acquisition take in Montreal?
Land acquisition typically takes 60 to 120 days depending on due diligence complexity, financing conditions, and required environmental assessments. Sites with potential contamination or title issues require more time. Jeremy coordinates all parties to keep the process on schedule.
