The Garment District later moved to the Mile End neighbourhood in the northern most edge of the borough of Le Plateau-Mont-Royal. The massive 1960s buildings built by the fur traders along De Gaspé Street are still visible today.
It has since moved again to its current location, along Chabanel Street.
