The historic waterfront of Old Montreal is set to receive a new addition in partnership with The Cree Regional Economic Enterprises Company (CREECO), owned by the Cree Nation Government, and works to invest in developments that better the lives of the Cree Nation across Quebec.

On November 29, Canadian property management company and developer Cogir Real Estate pulled back the curtain on plans for the Odea Montreal, a residential tower being built in partnership with CREECO. 

A 25-story tower, the mixed-use Odea Montreal will, once completed in 2024, provide 263 rental apartments and 171 condo units for purchase. A sky lounge, two rooftop pools, common areas, and an arts space run by Montreal’s interdisciplinary art complex Fonderie Darling are also planned.

“I am proud to see my nation’s contribution to the Montreal skyline with an innovative and forward-thinking project that will not only showcase the history of the Cree nation, but more importantly will also create space for indigenous organizations and entities,” said Mandy Gull, Grand Chief of the Cree Nation Government, in the project announcement. “The Odea Montreal project is the first of its kind and will be an economic driving force with endless opportunities for additional investment.”
