Adjacent to the prestigious Notre-Dame Basilica, L’Orléans is a seven-storey residential building consisting of 56 condominium apartments, a commercial ground floor level and four levels of indoor parking.
The building occupies a site left vacant by a fire and features a heritage façade saved from the flames. The project’s harmonious shape and colour blend into the neighbouring historical buildings, accentuating its exterior façade composed of tall narrow windows and gray limestone cladding.
The interior design combines the historic character of the site with today’s more modern apartments. A rooftop terrace gives residents access to a breathtaking view of downtown, Old Montréal and the majestic Saint Lawrence River.
