As far as shakedowns go, I can live with this. More housing is built, the promoter sells the ground floors at cost in a dicey market.
L’immeuble, d’une superficie totale de 16 000 pi2, réservera 6000 pi2 de son rez-de-chaussée à des ateliers, qui pourront recevoir de 20 à 25 artistes.
Les espaces destinés aux ateliers seront vendus à l’organisme Ateliers créatifs, à un prix inférieur à leur valeur marchande, ce qui permettra ensuite de les louer aux artistes et artisans à des prix raisonnables, souligne Gilles Renaud, directeur des Ateliers créatifs.

I’d be curious to know whether there’s a time limit on the contract. In ten years, will those spaces be filled with busy artists and artisans, or will they have mysteriously turned into office spaces leased at market rates like the rest of the building?

It sounds like the art spaces are being sold, not leased, to Ateliers créatifs, so their fate should be in good hands. They’re a non-profit that runs a number of other art spaces around town, including three floors of the Bovril Building on Park and four floors in one of those giant industrial buildings on de Gaspé. Those have been around since 2012 and 2013, respectively, and they are leased from the building owners.

That’s good to know, DeWolf. Thank you.
