The Miner takes off: first shovel in the ground!

Agence SIX is proud to support Alexandre Choko and his partners in the realization of this visionary $40 million project that will transform downtown Granby.

The Miner takes off: first shovel in the ground!

A project born out of a love story with Granby

The atmosphere was festive on Wednesday afternoon at 348 Main Street, when the symbolic shovelful of dirt from the Le Miner project officially marked the start of work. On the iconic site of the former Chez Trudeau restaurant, a new chapter is being written for downtown Granby. This large-scale project, led by the developer Alexandre Choko in partnership with Agence SIX, represents much more than a simple real estate development: it is the expression of an authentic passion for this community in the Eastern Townships.

I am 100% in love with Granby, and exclusively. The restaurant Chez Trudeau is a happy coincidence in my life. - Alexandre Choko, real estate developer

A shared vision for the future of downtown

True to its mission of supporting families to their future home, Agence SIX is working closely with the development team to make this project a success. The Miner, with its 10 floors and its 103 rental units, including a proportion of affordable housing, perfectly meets the current needs of the Granby community. The building will also offer two commercial spaces on the ground floor to revitalize Main Street.

Julie Bourdon, Mayor of Granby, addresses the guests at the press conference, stressing the importance of this project for the development and vitality of downtown.

A touching tribute to local heritage

What particularly sets Le Miner apart is his respect for the heritage of the Trudeau family, which fed Granbyans for nearly 90 years. The project includes spaces named in their honor: the “Madame Trudeau” lounge on the 10th floor, accessible to all tenants and offering a panoramic view, as well as the “Fernand Trudeau” terrace on the 4th floor. These tributes reflect the philosophy of Agence SIX: to create authentic links between people and their living environment.

I hope that Granbyennes will be happy with what we are going to do in our city center. - Alexandre Choko

A team of experts at the service of excellence

The success of this project is based on the collaboration of exceptional partners. Alongside Alexandre Choko, we find the Agence SIX team with Félix Cotte (designer) and Olivier Breton (project director), the architect Denis Favreau, and the general contractor CONCREA. This synergy of expertise guarantees a project of superior quality, equipped with exceptional equipment: gym, four-season thermal circuit with outdoor sauna, and two floors of underground parking - a first in downtown Granby.

The future takes root in the heart of Granby

With delivery scheduled for spring 2027, Le Miner promises to be a catalyst for transformation for downtown Granby. Agence SIX is honored to participate in this project, which perfectly embodies our values: passion, dedication and results. Tomorrow's real estate starts today with SIX.
