48Dix, Montreal

Client: 48Dix

Year: 2019-2024

Scope: Concept to Opening

Description of Project:

With globalization and the strength of asian manufacturing, north-american factory spaces had to transition from low value and low-priced industrial space into higher rent, smaller, vibrant multi-use spaces offering lofts for ad agencies, e-commerce startups, architects, engineers, ghost kitchens, co-working offices, gyms and even restaurants. IDX was mandated to completely transform a 500,000 square foot factory and industrial space into an inviting new business community buidling space to attract and to serve as a business hub for its neighbourhood.

Vision of Project:

By capitalizing on authentic yet refined 70-year-old textures, diamond-polished concrete floors, warm boutique finishes blended with industrial chic accents, indirect lighting, modern environmental graphics, and signage, IDX completely reimagined and repositioned this factory and warehouse building into a prime venue. Appealing to both emerging and established entrepreneurs seeking open, inspiring, and authentic office space, the transformation occurred during a pandemic and recession. Despite these challenges, vacancies were eliminated, rents doubled and tripled, and even long-standing low-rent paying tenants chose to stay, drawn by the allure of being part of this new, compelling story and space.

Services rendered:

Environmental graphics, common space design, landscape architecture, code compliance, tenant need coordination, technical drawings, permits, tender and construction support.
