Welcome to the Build Canada Homes engagement platform for the former National Film Board site!
Build Canada Homes is redeveloping the former site of the National Film Board of Canada (NFB), located at 3155 Côte-de-Liesse Road in Montréal's Saint-Laurent borough, just off the metropolitan highway (A-40).
About Build Canada Homes
Build Canada Homes (BCH) is a federal Crown corporation with a mandate to increase Canada’s housing supply and help make housing more affordable for Canadians.
Through partnerships with builders, developers, housing providers, governments, Indigenous partners and industry, Build Canada Homes helps deliver more homes in communities across Canada. By leveraging public lands, supporting innovative housing approaches and enabling projects that can be built at scale, the organization is helping increase housing supply where it is needed most.
Build Canada Homes is focused on:
Increasing the supply of housing across Canada
Supporting the development of affordable homes
Advancing innovative and modern approaches to homebuilding
Working with partners to unlock housing opportunities on public lands
Helping create complete, connected, and sustainable communities
BCH is committed to delivering solutions that respond to local needs while supporting long-term economic and community growth.
Integration of Canada Lands Company into Build Canada Homes In September 2025, the Government of Canada announced the integration of Canada Lands Company into Build Canada Homes to bring its land portfolio and expertise under one roof to support the delivery of housing at scale.
This integration brings together a national portfolio of public lands, deep expertise in land development, and more than 30 years of experience transforming federal properties into complete communities.
Since early 2024, the project team has been working with a number of experts to analyse the site and its surroundings from a variety of perspectives. Discover the results of various analyses that will contribute to the development of the project.
Together, let's build an inclusive, healthy and sustainable community that reflects our neighbourhood!
The future of the NFB's historic site is in keeping with its cinematic DNA, which has the capacity to tell the story of the past while reinventing itself as a space that contributes to the community in which it is located.
This goal will be achieved by providing a variety of uses, creating a welcoming public space, and implementing a sustainable development strategy.
The project aspirations are as follows:
Tackle the housing crisis, with the addition of affordable and market housing.
Repurpose most existing buildings to encourage economic development and artistic uses.
Be exemplary in the sustainable development of the property.
Create a living environment that is open to the community and its needs.
