In 1974, a covered open-air shopping mall was built at a cost of $5 million to revitalize the Saint-Joseph Street commercial artery. Stretching from Du Pont Street to De la Couronne Street, it offered a kilometre of weather-protected shopping downtown. It thus emulated the very popular suburban shopping malls that were stiff competition for downtown businesses.
