Quartier DIX30 is a commercial lifestyle centre located in Brossard, Quebec. It is considered as Canada's first lifestyle centre and occupies an area of 1.5 million square feet^[3] in the L section of Brossard. Quartier DIX30 was designed to emulate an urban or downtown shopping experience with boutiques^[4] and to meet the needs of suburban dwellers living on the South Shore of Montreal. Its name (English: TEN30 District) refers to its location: at the west corner of the intersection between Autoroute 10 and Autoroute 30.

According to a RioCan press release, "Quartier DIX30 was originally planned in three phases. [...] Phase IV goes beyond the initial agreement and comprises approximately 36 acres of adjacent land."^[1]

Following a press conference on September 14, 2006, the 150-million Canadian dollar phase I of Quartier DIX30 was opened to the public by the developer (Devimco) and the majority owner (RioCan).^[5] This initial phase included the opening of 400,000 square feet (40,000 m²) of retail space and of a total of 78 boutiques and restaurants including, among many other national retailers:^[1]

[edit] Phase III (Autumn 2007)

The Germain Group will open a new boutique-hotel: ALT Hotel, a cheap-chic concept that "will offer the qualities sought by a growing range of consumers who want affordable accommodation without compromising on design and comfort."^[6] The hotel will be built alongside the brand new entertainment complex which includes a 900-seat live theatre and concert hall, spa and gym.^[1]

Furthermore, a Bureau en Gros supplies store, a Safari Pet Centre (the largest in Quebec), a Canadian Tire retailer, a Maxi & Co. supermarket and a RONA hardware and home improvement store (the latter two will be retailer-owned) will be built on lots in the vicinity of the hotel.^[1]

[edit] Phase IV (Autumn 2008)

The Montreal Canadiens and the city of Brossard are partners in the building of a 30-million Canadian dollar practice facility that will feature two NHL-sized rinks with a capacity of 800 seats, as well as dressing rooms, an indoor soccer field (built to FIFA specifications) and a fitness centre. It will be open to the general public and will be built adjacent to the Quartier DIX30 complex. It will also serve as an additional facility for the Canadiens other than the Bell Centre.^[7] On February 25, 2008 the arena, under construction, collapsed. ^[8]
