A Montréal Icon with a Story to Tell

Located directly on **The Main -- boulevard Saint-Laurent**, the iconic **Baxter Block** is a property steeped in Montréal history, with a remarkable connection to one of the most famous stories of the 20th century: the **Titanic**.

Built in the 1890s by **James "Diamond Jim" Baxter**, the building was once home to 28 shops under one roof and was associated with the prominent Baxter family of Montréal. Hélène de Lanaudière Chaput-Baxter

Today, this historic property stands in a completely different era -- surrounded by the energy, culture, nightlife and constant pedestrian activity of **The Main**. Its commercial history continues with entertainment and nightlife uses, including its more recent association with the **GoGo Lounge**, adding another chapter to this property's colourful legacy

A Property with Possibilities

For the right purchaser, this is far more than a traditional real estate acquisition. Its prominent location, historic character and commercial potential create **multiple possibilities for future use and income generation**, subject of course to municipal regulations, zoning and applicable permits.

**Potential opportunities to investigate include:**

* Commercial or entertainment use on the main level
* Continued nightlife/bar or hospitality potential
* Potential short-term rental opportunities on the upper levels, **subject to confirmation of current zoning, municipal regulations and Airbnb/short-term rental eligibility**
* Repositioning or redevelopment possibilities
* A unique owner-user or investment opportunity on one of Montréal's most recognizable streets

**Important:** Any short-term rental/Airbnb opportunity and the status or transferability of any existing **bar/alcohol permit must be independently verified with the City of Montréal and the appropriate authorities before relying on these uses.**

A rare opportunity to acquire a property where **Montréal history, the Titanic story, nightlife and future investment potential all meet on The Main.**
