The Old Port site continually welcomes new proposals for projects with a commercial character and impact aimed at enhancing the visitor experience. Most of the site’s concessions (boutiques, restaurants, cruise operators, and recreational tourism attractions) operate on the site either permanently or seasonally.
Some of the site’s activities and products are operated by the Corporation, such as the parking lots, the Port d’escale marina, Clock Tower Beach, and the Montréal Science Centre.
Proposals for any new commercial project must fall under one of the following categories:
Tourist activities and services
- Recreational or entertainment activity, indoor or outdoor, aimed at the general public and/or specifically the family;
- Projects that take place in the basins, parks and other converted spaces on the site (outdoor games, sports, discovery or relaxation activities).
Cruises, excursions and maritime attractions
- Innovative projects such as cruises and rides on the river, to promote its value.
- Proposals must take into account the security standards currently in place and understand the geographic and nautical constraints of the St Lawrence River
Restaurants
- Innovative projects in terms of restauration
- Proposals must take all currently applicable standards into consideration
Summer boutiques
- Located in containers along the Bonsecours basin promenade, in front of La Grande Roue
- Benefit from the Bonsecours basin and its promenade visitors.
- Must have an original theme and present a wide selection of commonly used articles or items specifically related to the theme of the shop.
Please note that we consider all the proposals submitted and save them for two years with complete confidentiality for possible opportunities. Rest assured that we will contact you if your project fits our mission, our development plan and our future needs.
Thank you for your interest in the Old Port of Montreal!
