Built in 1918, reborn in 2025

For over a century, the Royal Alexandra Theatre stood as Lachine's cultural heart. Built in 1918 after fire destroyed its predecessor, this beloved landmark hosted countless performances, bringing neighbors together for movie nights and live shows. But as decades passed, the theatre fell silent—its grand spaces converted to stores, then rented for occasional events, before finally closing its doors.

Local developer Universel Holdings saw something special: a chance to honor the past while creating the future. Rather than demolish this architectural gem, they're breathing new life into every brick. The iconic Royal Alexandra sign stays proudly in place. The original facade gets carefully restored. But inside, a transformation is underway—13 beautiful homes and a vibrant street-level shop, all powered by cutting-edge sustainable technology.

This rebirth mirrors Lachine itself. Once an industrial powerhouse along the historic canal, the neighborhood spent years forgotten. Now, it's Montreal's most exciting renaissance—waterfront parks replace factories, cafes fill once-empty streets, and families discover they can live 20 minutes from downtown in a community with soul.

Royal Alexandra isn't just adaptive reuse—it's a love letter to heritage, a commitment to sustainability, and a bet on Lachine's brilliant future.
