What drives demand in Ville-Marie
The concentration of universities, hospitals and offices supports varied rental demand: students, professionals on assignment and downtown workers. The rental stock ranges from high-rise condos to older Centre-Sud plexes, as well as commercial buildings. Before any short-term rental project, check the applicable municipal and provincial regulations. Each building calls for a case-by-case analysis of income and expenses.
