A final peek inside Montreal's former National Film Board building

Former NFB building to be transformed The Canada Lands Company is redeveloping the former National Film Board Building in Montreal.

Sitting on almost 5 hectares of land, the former National Film Board (NFB) building in Montreal has been an icon of Canadian arts since the 1950s.

The building just off the Metropolitan Expressway became the NFB's Montreal headquarters in 1956. Although it's been largely empty since 2019, there are still remnants of the glory days.

The Canada Lands Company is redeveloping the building, converting it into housing, including affordable and social options.
