Real estate giant Broccolini has announced its acquisition of more than 135,000 sq. ft. in Montreal for $100 million.
This site – intended to be developed into office spaces, as well as residential and commercial units – is the largest space still available for development in the downtown area, according to records.

Broccolini is also the builder and owner of the new Maison de Radio-Canada, located on the corner of René-Lévesque Boulevard and Papineau Street. The construction of this new media complex is already underway, with inauguration slated for 2020.
