Montreal, June 13, 2022 – As a real estate player invested in downtown Montreal’s recovery and economic vitality, Ivanhoé Cambridge is pleased to unveil Nouveau Centre, the destination for outstanding experiences in the heart of the city. Nouveau Centre brings new life to the Company’s flagship downtown properties: Place Ville Marie (PVM), Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth Hotel, the Montreal Eaton Centre and Place Montréal Trust. Capitalizing on this concentrated presence in the heart of the city, Ivanhoé Cambridge has developed a diverse curated offer to engage and appeal to the business community, local and international tourists, and culture, gastronomy and trends enthusiasts.
Nouveau Centre: a revitalized district giving new impetus to the heart of the city
In creating the Nouveau Centre destination, Ivanhoé Cambridge leveraged the exceptional locations of its properties. It has re-energized downtown by transforming it into a hub of attractions where people can meet and mingle amid the city’s unparalleled creativity.
“Nouveau Centre’s strength lies in its ability to constantly reinvent itself, to make each visit memorable,” said Annik Desmarteau, Vice President, Offices, Quebec, at Ivanhoé Cambridge. “This collective effort by our properties reflects our goal of enhancing the drawing power of downtown. We offer an unparalleled experiential showcase to tenants, employers, workers, tourists, consumers and members of the metropolitan community; memorable discoveries await them all, starting this summer.”
