The City of Montréal, the Government of Québec, and UTILE are partnering to construct “UTILE Griffintown,” a new student accommodation building in Montréal’s Griffintown borough. It will host 285 affordable student housing units, which include a mix of studio and one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments. The site will open in 2027 and represents an $87.7M shared investment from the partners. In a statement, QC Minister of Housing France-Élaine Duranceau explained that the housing crisis particularly affects students who leave their hometowns to pursue education. She added that UTILE Griffintown will expand the amount of affordable housing available for Montréal’s student population.
