Technopôle Angus Business Park

Update and optimize the development master plan, with special consideration to the park's profitability.

This project involved transforming a former industrial site (2.4 million sq. ft.) in the heart of Montreal into a green zone hosting companies from various industries (manufacturing, environment, IT, food and agriculture, training and research centres, and laboratories).

The professionals at Plania, Dessau's urban planning and landscape architecture subsidiary, balanced creativity and practicality to produce the land use and development criteria and a final design that respected the site's industrial history.
Meanwhile, Dessau was involved in all facets of structural, mechanical and electrical engineering work during the production phase.

Challenges

• Increase density (professional and industrial) to reach the park's profitability targets.
• Create a plan for harmoniously integrating various projects on the site.
• Maximize the use of passive solar heating in winter, natural ventilation, and nocturnal cooling in summer.
