  "title": "Corner Office with View of Dix30 and Downtown Montreal",
  "description": "This corner office offers a captivating view of Dix30 and downtown Montreal, especially during sunset. Located on the 4th floor of the Banque Nationale building, it spans 160 square feet and comes fully furnished with a desk, chairs, and a filing cabinet, with the option to upgrade to larger furniture at no extra cost. \n\nThe office provides access to a variety of common areas, including a large conference room available for ten hours per month at no cost, and a small conference room equipped with an HDMI screen for two hours per day without charge (requires same-day reservation). The space also features a reception area and a waiting room for clients. \n\nAmenities include a coffee bar with an unlimited coffee card option for $30 per month or pay-per-use, a kitchen equipped with a payable printer, and access to shared refrigerator and microwave. Additionally, there are two Thinkpods and desks available at all times, along with access to all Regus common areas worldwide.",
  "activationIdeas": "This works well because buyer appointments are scheduled rather than walk-in, and the staffed reception plus client waiting room on the ground floor handles arrivals without you staffing a door. The 15 sqm room seats two to three people around the desk with a rail alongside, and the large conference room, free for ten hours a month, covers the full range presentation. Free parking and A10 and A30 access mean regional buyers from Sherbrooke and Granby drive straight in. SS/AW Seasonal Showroom Credible as a capsule or single category showroom rather than a full seasonal range, because 160 sqft realistically holds one double rail, a counter for accessories and two seated positions. The 28 day minimum lease covers an entire market window, which is why brands running a showroom rental here treat it as a Quebec base rather than a week-long fixture. Furniture upgrades are included at no cost, and we add rails and steaming kit through furniture rental when the density gets tight. Retail and Franchise Workshop The workshop format is the strongest fit on this floor because the large conference room absorbs the group while the private office becomes prep, stock and breakout space. In practice ten hours of free conference room time per month covers two or three half day sessions, and eight to twelve participants is the comfortable ceiling before you need to book paid overflow hours. Plan the booking sequence early using the activation timeline so the free allocation lands on your session dates. Product Masterclass or Category Training Works well for seated, screen led training because the small conference room comes with an HDMI display, free for two hours a day. The constraint worth knowing is that it requires same day reservation, so build your run of show around a fixed morning or afternoon slot rather than assuming all day access. Ten to fifteen attendees is the practical size, with the coffee bar and shared kitchen handling breaks without external catering. Trade Networking Event Adequate for a seated or standing business networking session of fifteen to twenty people in the large conference room with the reception area as arrival and drinks space, but not for anything larger or louder. There is no shopfront and no street presence here, so attendance is entirely driven by your invite list. The upside is logistical: free parking, Hôtel Alt Brossard four hundred metres away, and ten restaurants within a five minute walk for the dinner that follows. Content Creation Day The corner aspect is the reason to book this for content, with two glazed elevations on the fourth floor giving rooftop sightlines across DIX30 toward the downtown skyline and genuinely usable late afternoon light. A crew of three to four plus talent is the ceiling in 15 sqm, so this suits founder pieces, campaign talking heads and social cutdowns rather than full production. What makes it work is the quiet floor, which keeps audio clean, and we usually lock the shot list through concept and direction before the day. Interview and Video Production Set This works for single camera interview and brand film formats because the skyline backdrop removes the need for a built set, and on site lighting, sound and video equipment reduce what you truck in. Air conditioning and heating let you shut the room down for takes without HVAC noise fighting the mic. The honest limitation is daylight dependency, so schedule around the sun rather than assuming full blackout, and keep crew to four people maximum in the room. E-commerce and Product Shoot Strong for accessories, beauty, jewellery and small goods, weaker for full length apparel on model, because 15 sqm cannot absorb a lighting stand spread plus camera distance. The counters give you tabletop and flat lay surfaces, the garment rack and stock room hold product between setups, and fitting rooms in the building cover changes. Brands running an e-commerce shoot in a room this size typically book two consecutive days and shoot in tight batches rather than fighting the footprint.",
  "neighbourhoodMood": "Brands working out of this part of the South Shore are mostly Quebec-based retail groups, franchise operators, beauty and wellness labels, and the marketing agencies that service them, plus a steady layer of consultants, financial teams and sales organisations who took offices in the towers around Solar Uniquartier and the Banque Nationale building on Boulevard du Quartier. The commercial ecosystem here is built around Quartier DIX30 rather than around ateliers: Puma, Guess, American Eagle, RW&CO., Dynamite, WLKN and Urban Planet all trade within a five hundred metre radius, alongside independents like M/2 Génération Y, Le Coin des Coureurs and Bijouterie Lavigueur. Along Avenue des Lumières and Rue de Rome you get the service layer that supports activation work, including beauty clinics, Concept Élite, Parfumerie Éternelle, and enough restaurant capacity for buyer lunches and client dinners. In our experience placing brands in this neighbourhood, the users who get the most out of it are retail and consumer teams running regional roadshows, franchise recruitment days and category training rather than editorial-led fashion presentations, and we often pair a base like this with a retail-facing space when we browse all spaces for a client's Montreal leg. Cost per square metre and direct proximity to a functioning retail audience are the two reasons brands pick this address over Mile End, Griffintown, Old Montreal or the Chabanel garment blocks. Downtown Sainte-Catherine and Vieux-Montréal carry the press and tourist weight, and Mile End carries the creative credibility, but all three price accordingly and all three assume your visitors are arriving on foot or by metro from a central hotel. Here the calculation is different: the REM station at Du Quartier puts you roughly twenty minutes from Gare Centrale, parking is free and abundant, Hôtel Alt Brossard sits four hundred metres away for visiting reps and regional buyers, and the A10 and A30 make this reachable from Sherbrooke, Granby and the Eastern Townships without anyone entering Montreal traffic. What it does not give you is proximity to Montreal's fashion press pack, stylists or agency talent, all of whom sit north of the river and will treat a South Shore invitation as a genuine trip. Brand teams who activate here tell us the tradeoff only works when the audience is commercial rather than editorial, and running the numbers through our budget calculator usually confirms the sqm saving covers the extra transport spend. Arriving here feels corporate and orderly rather than street-level, and that shapes what the space does well. The building is entered from the boulevard with a staffed reception and a waiting room, so a visitor moves from parking to lift to your door in under two minutes, and a fourth floor corner room with sightlines across the DIX30 rooftops toward the downtown skyline reads well on camera in late afternoon light. Mornings are quiet and businesslike with office traffic and Tim Hortons runs; footfall thickens after five when DIX30 fills up and again on weekends, though that movement stays in the retail lanes and never reaches your floor. The street dynamic works particularly well for scheduled buyer appointments, small workshops, franchise meetings and controlled content capture where privacy matters more than exposure. Be clear on the limitation: this is not a temporary retail or pop-up shop environment, there is no shopfront, no signage opportunity and no walk-in traffic whatsoever, so brands needing street visibility should let us handle venue sourcing for a DIX30 unit instead.",
  "faq": [
    {
      "question": "Is this space available for pop-up shops?",
      "answer": "Not as a street-facing retail pop-up, but yes as a private, appointment-based pop-up or showroom. This is a 160 sq ft corner office on the fourth floor of the Banque Nationale building at Quartier Dix30 in Brossard, so walk-in shoppers will not find you by accident, and the building operates as a serviced office rather than a shop unit. Brands we place here use it for invite-only selling, buyer previews and private client appointments, supported by the ground-floor reception and client waiting room. If your brief calls for open-door temporary retail with footfall from the Dix30 promenade, tell us at enquiry stage and we will browse all spaces"
    },
    {
      "question": "How much does it cost to rent this office?",
      "answer": "The day rate is CA$76, which is roughly €47 per day. Because the office carries a 28 day minimum, a full term works out at approximately CA$2,128 before any optional extras such as the unlimited coffee card at CA$30 per month or pay-per-use printing in the shared kitchen. Meeting room time is largely included rather than billed on top, which keeps the total predictable compared with hotel meeting suites around Dix30. We confirm the exact figure for your dates in writing before anything is signed, and there is no charge until confirmed."
    },
    {
      "question": "What is the minimum rental period and how far ahead should I book?",
      "answer": "The minimum term is 28 days, so this is a short-term rental measured in months rather than a weekend booking. In our experience handling serviced office bookings in Greater Montreal, four to six weeks of lead time is comfortable for a 28 day term, and two weeks is workable if the office is unoccupied. There is no stated maximum term, so if your Montreal season runs long you can extend into a second or third consecutive month. Send us your start date and we will request availability from the building operator the same working day."
    },
    {
      "question": "How big is the office and how many people can work in it?",
      "answer": "The private office is 160 sq ft, about 15 sq m, which comfortably suits a team of two to four working full time. Beyond the four walls you also get two Thinkpods and additional hot desks at all times, plus the large conference room for ten hours a month at no cost, so a visiting team of up to around fifteen can operate from the floor across the day. Brands running a wholesale season from a base like this typically keep two people permanently in the corner office and rotate the rest through the meeting rooms and Thinkpods. The corner position gives you two window walls with views over Quartier Dix30 and downtown Montreal, which makes the room feel larger than the square footage suggests."
    },
    {
      "question": "What furniture is included, and can I change it?",
      "answer": "The office arrives fully furnished with a desk, chairs and a filing cabinet, and you can upgrade to larger furniture at no extra cost. That makes it move-in ready on day one, which matters when your team lands in Montreal with samples and a tight appointment calendar. If you need pieces the building does not stock, such as rails, plinths, seating for a collection preview or a styled meeting table, we can bring those in through our furniture rental"
    },
    {
      "question": "Can I hold buyer appointments and client meetings here?",
      "answer": "Yes, and the meeting infrastructure is the strongest reason to book this office. The large conference room is available for ten hours per month at no cost, and the small conference room with an HDMI screen is free for two hours per day provided you reserve it the same day. Clients arrive through a staffed reception and a proper waiting room rather than a corridor, which reads professionally for wholesale appointments and press meetings. The HDMI screen handles lookbook and line sheet presentations directly from a laptop, and the coffee bar sits a few steps away for hospitality between back-to-back buyer slots."
    },
    {
      "question": "Is this suitable as a fashion showroom or for a sample sale?",
      "answer": "It works well as a private fashion showroom and less well as a public sample sale. The listing includes fitting rooms, a garment rack, counters and a stock room, so you can hang a collection, let buyers try pieces and store cartons securely without renting a second location in Brossard. What the building does not offer is street frontage or signage on the Dix30 promenade, so a high-volume sample sale needing walk-in traffic is the wrong fit here. For a showroom run on appointments, collection previews and press days, quote us your rail count and headcount and we will confirm brief-based pricing for any additional fit-out."
    },
    {
      "question": "What internet, AV and technical equipment come with the space?",
      "answer": "Business-grade internet and wifi are included, along with sound and video equipment and the HDMI screen in the small conference room. Printing is handled through the shared kitchen printer on a pay-per-use basis, which suits line sheets and order forms without you shipping a machine to Montreal. Air conditioning, heating and full electrical service are in place year round, which matters for a 28 day term that may cross a Quebec winter. If you need broadcast-standard AV, streaming for a remote buyer preview or additional screens, we can source and install that on request."
    },
    {
      "question": "What shared amenities are included beyond the private office?",
      "answer": "You get the reception area, client waiting room, both conference rooms, a coffee bar, a kitchen with shared refrigerator and microwave, two Thinkpods and open desks at all times. The coffee card is CA$30 per month for unlimited use, or you can simply pay per cup if your team is in and out. The booking also carries access to Regus common areas worldwide, which is useful if your brand runs a Montreal base alongside stops in New York or Paris in the same season. In practice this level of concierge included service means your team spends its time on appointments rather than on logistics."
    },
    {
      "question": "Is there parking, elevator access and a way to bring in stock?",
      "answer": "Yes, the building has on-site parking and elevator access to the fourth floor, so rails, sample trunks and boxes go up without stairs. Quartier Dix30 is a car-first district on the South Shore, so most buyers and press driving in from Montreal or the Rive-Sud will park directly at the building rather than arriving by transit. Deliveries should be scheduled through building reception during business hours, and we confirm the loading arrangement with the operator before your move-in date. If your brand is shipping a full collection, tell us the pallet or carton count when you enquire so the stock room allocation is agreed in advance."
    },
    {
      "question": "How secure is the space for samples and stock?",
      "answer": "Security is one of the reasons brands hire private offices in managed buildings like this one rather than raw temporary space. The building runs a security system with CCTV, staffed reception during business hours and a lockable private office, plus a stock room for cartons and off-rail inventory. That combination is normally enough for a full seasonal sample collection, though high-value jewellery or archive pieces may need additional cover. Every operator we list is vetted before a space goes live, and we will confirm the exact after-hours access and alarm procedure for your term in writing."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can I shoot content in this office?",
      "answer": "Yes, for small-scale content the corner windows are the main asset. Two window walls look out over Quartier Dix30 and toward downtown Montreal, and the room takes strong directional light at sunset, which suits portrait, interview and product-in-context content. At 160 sq ft it is a compact content studio, so plan for a lean crew of two or three rather than a full production with lighting towers. Shoots in the shared conference rooms and reception areas need to be cleared in advance out of respect for other tenants, and we handle that clearance with the operator as part of your rental."
    },
    {
      "question": "What is the location like and which brands are nearby?",
      "answer": "The office sits inside Quartier Dix30 in Brossard, the South Shore's largest open-air retail and lifestyle district, roughly twenty minutes from downtown Montreal. There are around 25 stores within 600 m, including Puma, Guess, American Eagle Outfitters, Urban Planet, WLKN, Dynamite, RW&CO. and Reitmans, alongside Indigo and a dense cluster of cafés and restaurants such as Starbucks, Première Moisson and Yuzu. Hôtel Alt Brossard is under 500 m away, which makes it straightforward to house visiting buyers and press within walking distance of your appointments. For brands courting Quebec retail buyers, this concentration of national chains in one district is a practical reason to base a temporary rental here rather than in the Mile End or downtown."
    },
    {
      "question": "Do I need a permit, and what kind of contract will I sign?",
      "answer": "No municipal retail permit is required for private office use of this kind in Brossard, because you are occupying an existing commercial office under the building's own zoning and operating by appointment rather than as a public shop. You will sign a licence to occupy or an equivalent temporary use agreement with the operator covering the 28 day minimum term, insurance requirements and house rules on signage and shared areas. Signage is limited to internal directory listing and in-office branding, so any external identification needs to be agreed with building management first. If your plans shift toward public-facing sales or ticketed events, check the requirements in our permit guide"
    },
    {
      "question": "What does Fashion Week Venues handle on my behalf for this booking?",
      "answer": "We handle the entire booking end to end so your team only deals with one contact. What we manage at this address specifically is availability checks with the Banque Nationale building operator, negotiation of the 28 day term and CA$76 day rate, the licence to occupy paperwork, the furniture upgrade request, meeting room allocation for your buyer appointments and the delivery and stock room schedule. Beyond the booking we can layer on fit-out, retail staffing, point of sale, data reporting and influencer activity if your Montreal season needs them. Send your dates and brief to enquire and you will get a reply within 24h; you can see exactly what happens at each stage in how our process works"
    },
    {
      "question": "What is the day rate?",
      "answer": "CA$76 / day. Weekly and press-preview rates are quoted on request."
    },
    {
      "question": "Is staging, branding and fit-out permitted?",
      "answer": "Yes. Fashion Week Venues runs the full production build — signage, fixtures, lighting, sound, catering and staffing — subject to venue rules. Include your fit-out brief in the inquiry."
    },
    {
      "question": "What is included?",
      "answer": "Included on-site: Internet, Air Conditioning, Security System, Stock Room, Counters, Fitting Rooms, Garment Rack, Lighting."
    },
    {
      "question": "How far in advance should we book?",
      "answer": "Fashion week windows book 6–10 weeks out. Off-season activations can be secured in 2–3 weeks."
