Faubourg Boisbriand is located on the site of the former General Motors assembly plant. After the plant shutdown, neighbouring communities hoped this enormous space would be used for a real estate redevelopment project that would contribute to the economic revival of the area.

Cherokee and its local partners are developing this integrated lifestyle community that combines shopping facilities with residential and office space, while providing urban infrastructures and respecting the natural environment.

With the support of the City of Boisbriand and its citizens, the project includes a complete rebuild of the Highway 15 and 640 interchange as well as access to the suburban train network, a registered project in the 2008-2009-2010 Triennial Plan of Fixed Assets from Agence métropolitaine de transport (AMT).

Once construction of Faubourg Boisbriand is complete, the City of Boisbriand will manage all urban services. In addition, the City of Boisbriand will collect property taxes equal to four times the amount collected prior to the demolition of the plant in 2004.
