Montreal Housing Policies and Development with Jeffrey Kirton
Manage episode 496505792 series 2794951
What if the path to solving housing challenges wasn’t just policy—but smarter development?
In this episode, I sit down once again with urbanist and investor Jeffrey Kirton to break down the biggest projects reshaping Montreal’s real estate landscape. We dive into MAC’s $3.5 billion redevelopment at Jean-Talon, explore density-driven solutions like mixed-use buildings, and talk about how city planning, bylaws, and public opposition shape what actually gets built.
Jeffrey unpacks how bylaw 20-20-20 reshaped development economics, what developers really face when navigating social and affordable housing mandates, and why large-scale projects are becoming the only viable option in high-regulation environments. We also discuss the unintended consequences of citizen referendums and the need for smaller lots, architectural guides, and housing diversity.
Tune in to learn how policy, vision, and development pressures are colliding—and what it will take to create more inclusive, livable cities.
