CLARK STREET
REIMAGINED
Introduction 簡介
In August 2024, the City of Montréal announced the acquisition of a lot located at 1100-1102 rue Clark at a cost of $1.98 million. As the City also owns the two adjacent lots, 1092-1098 and 1104-1106 rue Clark, it has indicated that this strategic acquisition is to enable a non-market housing project with 45-60 units on site and it intends to resell those lots in the future to a partner committed to developing such a project. The City also announced that this acquisition is part of the 2021-2026 Action Plan for the development of Chinatown, specifically around commitments regarding heritage preservation, improving quality of life, improving commercial vitality, and facilitating community collaboration.
With this opportunity in mind, the JIA Foundation convened a project steering committee with the Montreal Chinatown Round Table, Table de concertation du faubourg Saint-Laurent and Comité logement Ville-Marie to launch the Clark Street Reimagined Project with an open house and a visioning workshop in early December 2024.
2024 年 8 月，蒙特利爾市政府宣布以 198 萬加元收購位於 1100-1102 rue Clark 的地塊。由於市政府還擁有相鄰的兩塊地，因此表示此次戰略收購是為了在該地塊上建設一個擁有 45-60 個單位的社會住宅專案，並打算在未來將這些地塊轉售給致力於開發此類專案的合作夥伴。未来市政府计划将这些地块出售给致力于开发该项目的合作伙伴。市政府此次收購符合《2021-2026 年華埠行動計劃》中的目標，特別是有關遺產保護、提高生活質量, 改善商業活力和促進社區合作的承諾。
有鑒於此，家基金會與滿地可圓桌會議, Table de concertation du faubourg Saint-Laurent 和 Comité logement Ville-Marie 共同組成了一個項目指導委員會，以2024 年 12 月初舉辦開放日和願景研討會，啟動克拉克街改造項目。
The Project 項目
Clark Street Reimagined is a community-led initiative to develop a Concept Plan for a mixed-use housing project for the City-owned sites. Based on a holistic vision for the future of Clark Street, this Concept Plan aims to meet diverse community needs and to facilitate needed change in the neighbourhood. The JIA Foundation engaged Pivot: Coopérative d’Architecture to create a proposal for the housing project with community insights gathered from two collaborative design workshops in early 2025. The project was created with funding support from the Borough of Ville-Marie and the Community Housing Transformation Centre.
該專案是一項社區主導的計畫，旨在為市政府擁有的地塊制定多用途住宅專案概念計畫。基於對克拉克街未來的整體願景，該概念規劃旨在滿足社區的多樣化需求，並促進該社區所需的變化。Pivot： Coopérative d’Architecture 從兩個合作設計工作坊中收集到的社區見解，為該住宅專案創建了一個提案。
The Process
In the past few years, there has been a lot of community consultation where community concerns were shared and ideas were generated. The JIA Foundation organized that information and presented it at the public Open House on December 1st, 2024. Download the posters shown at the Open House here.
近年来，社区举行了多次咨询，表达了关注点和构想。家基金会已整理了这些信息，并在十二月 一 日的公众开放日上进行了展示。 下载开放日的海报。
Through an Open House and two collaborative design workshops, we brought together a variety of Chinatown stakeholders and expertise, including residents, merchants, workers, community organizers, city officials and non-profit housing sector members. These meetings have enabled a collective reflection on the future of Clark Street as a whole and identified the potential contribution of a mixed-use housing project on the City-owned lots towards this vision.
透過開放日和兩個設計研討會，我們匯集了唐人街的各種利益相關者和專業知識，包括居民、商人, 工人, 社區組織者, 市政府官員和非營利住房部門成員。這些會議使人們能夠集體反思克拉克街的整體未來，並確定了市政府擁有的土地上的混合用途住房項目對實現這一願景的潛在貢獻。
Project Outcome 項目成果
The Concept Plan proposes a stepped design with a 8-storey building in the back and a 5-storey building facing the street. The design proposes to maintain the existing facade of 1106 Clark Street and ensure integration with the human scale neighbourhood character. Following the design’s intentions of social mixity and community, the first floor is proposed as a mix of open recreation space, retail, and space for residents. There is an internal courtyard as well as a backyard terrace with a semi-permeable boundary dividing it from Brady Alley for community use (the alleyway between Clark and Saint Urbain Streets).
概念規劃建議採用階梯式設計，八層高的建築位於背面，五層高的建築面向街道。該設計建議保留克拉克街 1106 號的現有外立面，並確保與人性化尺度的社區特色相融合。根據社會混合性和社區的設計意向，一樓建議為開放式休閒空間, 零售商戶和居民空間的混合體。這裡有一個內部庭院以及後院露台，並設有半透明邊界，將其與供社區使用的 Brady Alley（Clark 街與 Saint Urbain 街之間的小巷）分隔开來。
In order to address the diversity of needs of the different populations in Chinatown and to allow flexibility for future implementation of this project, Pivot’s proposal uses a ‘kit of parts’ model, proposing several different floor plans with different configurations of apartments from studios to 1 to 2 bedrooms, which can be mixed and matched to create levels of communal space. Depending on the targeted clientele in the final project, these components can be combined to meet the needs and vision of future residents. In total, the proposed volume can accommodate 51 to 83 units, depending on the scenario.
為了滿足唐人街不同人群的多樣化需求，並為本項目的未來實施留有彈性，Pivot 的提案採用了 「零件套件 」模式，提出了多種不同樓層的公寓配置方案，從單間公寓到一到兩間臥室，可以混合搭配，創造出不同層次的公共空間。依據最終方案的目標客戶群，這些組件可以組合起來，以滿足未來住戶的需求和願景。總體而言，建議的體量可容納 51 至 83 個單位，視情況而定。
Next Steps
The 1092-1106 Rue Clark Concept Plan aims to serve as a tool to advocate to the City and future project developers and partners to ensure that this future development will meet the diverse community needs and contribute to facilitating needed change at the neighbourhood level. The community looks forward to collaborating with future developers on the realisation of this long-awaited project at 1092-1106 Clark Street.
