Montreal-South (French: Montréal-Sud, pronounced [mɔ̃ʁeal syd]) was a suburb of Montreal located on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River founded in 1906.
[1] After Montreal-South was dissolved, its former territory underwent a major urban development that began in the 1960s and continues to this day.
Place Charles-Le Moyne, Longueuil's primary transit hub and business center, is in the former territory of Montreal-South.
Place Charles-Le Moyne is surrounded by major highways, Autoroute 20/Route 132 near the river in the north, the entrance ramp of Jacques-Cartier Bridge to the west, and Taschereau Boulevard to the south and east.
[4] Longueuil's skycrapers are located in this area, including the 30-story residential tower Port de Mer 1 at 99 Place Charles-Le Moyne, which has been the tallest building in the city since 1972 (though it is on the verge of being surpassed by another high-rise currently under construction).
