Cours de Brésoles is a project nestled away in plain sight in the historic Old Port of Montreal for which SBSA is provided the full range of structural engineering services including preliminary design, detailed design, and construction phase services. By integrating existing facades and wood structural elements of the existing structures, the cache of the area was maintained. The project has brought to life two buildings which have been long abandoned.
The Notre-Dame West portion of the project involves a new seven-storey residential building with three underground parking levels. An existing façade facing Notre-Dame Street was conserved, as well as existing archaeological foundations, which were integrated with the new structure.
The Brésoles portion of the project involved the addition of a new 7th structural level and new 8th floor penthouse as well as modifications to the existing structure and access to underground parking.
Construction on the project was completed in 2023.
