MAIN contractor in REVITALIzatIoN of INDUSTRIaL SITES

Partially disused and contaminated sites bought for conversion into industrial, resort, residential and commercial venues.
Le Groupe St-Pierre has always worked with affected municipalities to optimize development of various sites based on the market and specific regional needs.  

This company, founded in 1982, has grown significantly over the past five years. Its workforce today comprises 20 full-time employees and a number of sub-contractors.   

SHERBROOKE POLICE station

This project was challenging because the site – a former scrapyard – required major soil decontamination work. Les Investissements René St-Pierre then took on the role of developer for the police station project, which included negotiations for the 20-year emphyteotic lease. The scope of this project is what set it apart: a police station of approximately 90,000 m2, intended to house the Police Service headquarters, the 911 emergency call centre and the gun range built to the most recent safety standards. The project represented an investment of more than $20 million.

The project: Renovation of the Hooper building to create a multi-purpose centre housing, primarily, a medical clinic, a drugstore and a supermarket.

BELOIT PROJECT (SHERBROOKE)

  • Property acquired in 1999   
  • Former location of Ingersoll Rand   
  • Industrial motel, 60 acres in area   
  • Facilities for various businesses, creating 600 jobs   

Les Investissements René St-Pierre acquired this property in 1999, and has, since then, developed the site and done maintenance work. Part of the space can be used for offices (a call centre, for example) and the other part can house a factory. The configuration and height of the factory space make this property an ideal site for taking delivery of large pieces of metal. This facility was used, in fact, to build all of the metal parts needed for the new Turcot Interchange.
