O Mile-Ex is the result of the fusion of two industrial buildings that together span more than 370,000 square feet, a place that encourages talents to converge and companies to flourish. Located in the heart of the trendy and eclectic Mile-Ex and close to Little-Italy, O Mile-Ex offers a lifestyle that connects the business world with that of culture, entertainment and well-being.
TIGHTLY KNIT
O Mile-Ex's story began in the 1960s with the creation of Tricots Main Inc. This former textile factory occupied the building for nearly 50 years and contributed to the economic boom of the Marconi-Alexandra district, better known today as Mile-Ex. The two buildings still bear the marks of their industrial past.
O Mile-Ex was conceived with the aim of extending the history of these buildings and giving them a second lease on life. Offering open, bright, affordable and easy-to-access loft-style office spaces, O Mile-Ex is not only a place where it is pleasant to work. It's also an inspirational place where entertainment, relaxation and enjoyment are considered fundamental.
MORE ABOUT THE HISTORY
ARCHITECTURE
An architectural design in tune with its environment and its origins.
Originally, the project sprang from a desire to respect the industrial character of the two buildings. With stunning views of the city and of Mount Royal, the office spaces have retained the original character of the buildings. Exposed ceilings, rough finishing, cement floors and natural light all contribute to the elegance of these unique lofts. The industrial and ultramodern styles work in harmony thanks to renovation efforts inspired by the original architectural complex, such as the fenestration and the masonry, as well as the electrical and mechanical systems.
