Totalling 18 acres in Montréal's Notre-Dame-de-Grâce neighbourhood, Benny Farm was built in 1946 and 1947 to house war veterans.The City of Montreal has been deeply involved in the redevelopment strategy for Benny Farm, both with respect to zoning change requirements and funding of various affordable housing programs (through the Opération Solidarité 5000 logements) on the site. The City has prioritized the Benny Farm site as a high profile, mixed profile housing redevelopment with approximately five hundred and fifty new or renovated affordable housing units.L'OEUF's involvement with the redevelopment of Benny Farm has spanned many years and several projects.For more information, see bennyfarm.orgA copy of the current master plan is available here.
