Montreal welcomes new life-sciences hub

by David McPherson

While construction of Inspire Bio Innovations’ first phase is set for completion this summer, the second phase is expected to be finished in 2026.

Build it, and they will come – that’s the thinking behind Inspire Bio Innovations, a new life-sciences hub in downtown Montreal that’s intended to attract biotech startups, foster research and development (R&D), and facilitate collaboration.

Once revered for its respiratory illness research, the site – located on Saint-Urbain Street between Avenue des Pins and Prince-Arthur Street – was previously home to the historic Montreal Chest Institute. But after sitting derelict for a decade, the property is getting a makeover that will transform it into a medical research lab and life-sciences startup incubator, thanks to investments from contract research lab CellCarta, NEUF Architect(e)s and Quebec-based real estate company Jadco Group.
