Le Sir George Simpson (also known as Sir George Simpson) is a condominium building located at 1485 Sherbrooke Street West in the Golden Square Mile district of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The building started to be officially constructed in 2006 and it was completed in 2010.[1] The Sir George Simpson project was developed by developer Rene Lépine Sr., head of Groupe Lépine.[3][2][4]
During pre-construction phase, Groupe Lépine allowed early customers to personalize unit sizes and floor plans.[3] The building contains 31 units that range between 1,500 square feet to 6,300 square feet, with a facade of precast concrete[5][3]
Sir George Simpson is home to the most expensive apartments in Quebec, with units selling for over $1,500 per square foot as of 2014, and was the first building in Montreal to successfully sell for over $1,000 per square foot.[4][5] In its pre-construction phase, units sold between $1 million and $5.2 million but prices quickly rose higher, to $1.2 million and $7.2 million, respectively, and was exclusively represented by Sotheby's International Realty.[4] The building officially sold out in 2011 at record prices.[4]
In 2016, American actress Jennifer Lawrence lived in the building during the filming of a movie.[6][7]
