We are currently studying a model in the Quartier des spectacles in Montreal, where real estate prices are increasing very rapidly. That model consists in granting builders advantages, such as the authorization to build higher buildings than normally permitted, on condition that the builder place the less coveted floors of the future building at the disposal of artists and other creators. Montreal is studying that model at this time, but it has not been tested and proven yet.
