Cité-du-Havre, Administrative sector on Mackay Pier in Ville-Marie, Canada
The Cité-du-Havre extends as a narrow artificial peninsula into the Saint Lawrence River, protecting Montreal's Old Port from water currents and ice formations.
The Mackay Pier construction began in 1891 and completed by 1900, using materials from Montreal Metro excavations to expand the eastern section facing the river.
The district contains three residential complexes, including the experimental Habitat 67 building, which represents architectural innovation from the 1967 World Exhibition.
The area maintains 775 residents across 1.35 square kilometers, featuring both residential spaces and industrial operations near Montreal's central business district.
A railway branch operated on the pier until the 1960s, facilitating goods transportation before the area transformed into its current mixed-use configuration.
