The former Pioneer Pub in the heart of Pointe-Claire village is back in the spotlight.
Developers have released new plans for a condo development that is slated to replace the old building. The plans are now available on the City of Pointe-Claire’s website.

Previous plans were rejected by Pointe-Claire’s demolition committee in October after months of vocal opposition from citizens, who say that a condo development does not fit with the historical feel of the village.
The original structure was built in the 19th century and served as a hotel before becoming a pub in the 1970s. The former owner sold the building to developer Greg Koegl in 2018.
Those who opposed the original condo project are calling on other Pointe-Claire residents to submit letters of opposition to city hall by the March 8 deadline.
“This second project should be rejected. It is a monstrosity and doesn’t fit in a historical village,” said Pointe-Claire resident Tracy McBean.
Pointe-Claire’s demolition committee will hear a presentation from the developers at a public meeting on March 21.
