Religious order looks at selling land

The Congrégation de Notre-Dame is selling its land, the domaine Villa‑Maria, which includes both the school of the same name and the private CEGEP Marianopolis, as well as buildings housing a lot of elderly nuns – average age 86 – who have to be looked after. The sale is not meant to take effect for seven years.

It will change the face of that part of the city, bridging Westmount and NDG, when a developer buys it to construct condos. Condos on the Montreal side, at least; Westmount will have something to say about its own side of the land.
