Montreal Premium Outlets is a 425,000 sq-ft retail development located north of Montréal in Mirabel, Québec.  The development is spread over seven separate buildings and a central Food Pavilion.  Montreal Premium Outlets is designed to evoke visions of a traditional Québécois ski chalet with extensive use of exposed stone façades, heavy timber roof trusses, and gabled roof features.

The buildings are steel framed and founded on shallow spread footings.  Challenging geotechnical conditions required extensive soil improvement through the use of the Rapid Impact Compaction (RIC) process.  In addition, Stephenson worked closely with the Owner, SmartCentres, to tailor the structural grid and layout to suit geotechnical requirements for footing sizes and shallow founding elevations.
