Lofts for filming in Montreal
Lofts, with their open volumes, brick, and industrial windows, are prized for a bright, urban look.
The city's architectural diversity makes it a rare canvas: Plateau triplexes, Griffintown lofts, the Victorian facades of the Golden Square Mile, Sud-Ouest alleyways, Mile End storefronts. A single neighbourhood can serve as a set for a local comedy or an international production.

Quebec’s tax credit, leading studios, and a bilingual talent pool make Montreal a North American hub. The city frequently doubles for European or American cities, which multiplies the need for real locations and the opportunities for owners.
Montreal shoots in both languages and draws local productions as well as international shoots. Crews are constantly looking for varied, authentic locations here, from a residential home to an industrial loft, usually for a few days at a time.
What productions look for in a loft
An open loft makes a crew’s job easier: room for lighting, camera track, and logistics, with no walls to work around. Brick, concrete, and high ceilings give an immediate character, sought for fashion and advertising as much as for scripted work.

How much does renting a loft for a shoot in Montreal cost?
A loft in Montreal typically rents for $500 to $2,000 per shoot day. The amount depends on the space, the production, the crew size, and how many days are booked. You set your own rate, and every request states the budget before you accept.
What productions rent lofts in Montreal?
Lofts, with their open volumes, brick, and industrial windows, are prized for a bright, urban look. In Montreal, film, television, advertising, music video, and photo shoots all request these spaces, usually for one to five days.
Do I have to be present during the shoot?
That is your choice. Many owners stay on site, others hand over access for the day. Every booking is covered by a signed contract and insurance, and you set the house rules in advance.
What if my loft is not glamorous?
That is often an advantage. Productions need spaces that feel real, not staged. An ordinary, authentic loft in Montreal is frequently more useful to a story than a prestige property.
