The Murdocks, one of the region’s prominent business families, continue to divest themselves of their historic heritage with this new transaction.
It is the Immeuble MCJR company, led by Marc St-Gelais and Joel Tremblay, who will manage the transacted properties. From the outset, the buyers of this portion of the real estate formerly owned by the Murdocks confirmed that this major investment was, for their part, part of a desire to “energize the city center and contribute to its revitalization.”
With a total area of 225,000 square feet newly at its disposal, the company Immeuble MCJR intends to expand the residential offer in the sector in the near future in order to meet the growing needs of the population, we learned in a press release sent by the company .
The real estate portfolio sold in the transaction announced Thursday is diversified. Commercial spaces, offices and residential infrastructure are found there. Marc St-Gelais, the co-founder of Immeuble MCJR, was very delighted to be able to get his hands on this new piece of heritage, given the exceptional opportunity it represented to strengthen the attractiveness of the area.
“We firmly believe that strategic investments and the integration of new businesses and new professionals will greatly contribute to the City’s vision of bringing life back to this key sector. We have already started renting spaces to professionals, and this is just the beginning. With nearly 60,000 square feet of vacant space available, we have real potential to revitalize and develop the sector,” declared Marc St-Gelais, co-founder of Immeuble MCJR.
