Île-des-Sœurs (Nuns’ Island) is part of the Verdun borough, in the St. Lawrence River just south of downtown Montreal. Its large-scale residential development began in the late 1960s with three apartment towers designed by architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe; the first one, at 201 Rue Corot, was occupied in 1969.
Today, most residents live in apartment and condo towers, along with lower-rise condo buildings and townhouses. The Bell campus occupies the north end of the island, and the Place du Commerce area, near the Samuel-De Champlain Bridge, is its main shopping area.
We cover the whole island: the towers along the river, the Place du Commerce area, the area around Place Elgar and its community centre, the streets near the Domaine Saint-Paul woodland in the south, and the offices of the Bell campus in the north.
We also serve the rest of Verdun, as well as LaSalle, downtown in Ville-Marie and the South Shore, including Brossard and Longueuil.
Highway 15 crosses the island: the Île-des-Sœurs Bridge connects it to the Montreal side, and the Samuel-De Champlain Bridge to the South Shore. The Clément Bridge links the island to the Bonaventure Expressway (Highway 10) toward downtown. Since July 2023, the REM has served Île-des-Sœurs station, on the line between downtown and Brossard.
In a tower, book the service elevator and the loading dock with building management, and check the time slots allowed for moves. If the dock is underground, ask for its height clearance: some indoor docks are too low for a moving truck, which then has to park outside. Some buildings also ask for a deposit or specific documents before a move, so request the building’s moving rules early.
