A major redevelopment project in downtown Montreal is entering its final stages as the Armoyan family approaches completion of one of the city’s largest office-to-residential conversions. The transformation is part of a broader strategy to reposition older office properties for housing.

The project converts the former Standard Life office tower at 1245 Sherbrooke Street West into residential housing under the name Le Samuel. The redevelopment represents a significant shift for the property, replacing traditional office space with new homes in downtown Montreal.
The building’s structure and layout helped make the conversion possible. Features such as large windows and a design that allows open interior spaces made it suitable for residential redevelopment.
Once completed, the project will mark a major milestone for the developers and reflects a growing trend of adapting older office buildings into housing as cities rethink how downtown spaces are used.
