City buys building for housing
As La Presse says here, for the third time in a year the city has bought a building for more than twice its assessed value, with the aim of creating affordable housing units – this time in Verdun.

The assessed value of this 96 rooms seniors residence was only 3,9M, the equivalent of 3-4 triplexes in Verdun. It was clearly under-assessed.

Also, there’s no link between property assessment values and market values. The price of a building is always what the market can bear. That building was a good deal for the city. Well-done Mayor Plante.
