Rimouski - Quartier Maritime | Société de développement Angus

A Town Hit by the Housing Crisis

The town of Rimouski has been hit hard by the housing crisis that has affected other areas of Quebec and Canada. With over 50,000 inhabitants, this town is the most significant urban centre in the lower river area and has an administrative centre with several healthcare services and educational institutions. This attracts a lot of new residents every year, leading to increased housing needs. The solutions offered by the SDA, such as implementing a social utility trust fund, will help them meet some of these needs.

One project, two phases

In the summer of 2023, the Société de développement Angus signed an agreement with the city of Rimouski to develop a partnership to revitalize two lots for residential building projects, in two phases. The first phase has been announced in Fall 2024 and will be located at the corner of Saint-Germain street and René-Lepage boulevard, in front of the St. Lawrence River.

First phase: Quartier Maritime

SDA starts the Quartier Maritime project with the construction of a residential complex which includes 328 units of 1, 2 or 3 bedrooms. This complexe will have 2 buildings, with different levels which will vary between 4 to 10 floors. The design thinking behind the concept takes the river and the mountains around into consideration and the conception is made to suit the environment. The construction will start at Winter 2025.
