Mascouche, Quebec was selected as the location for the first joint venture project of SmartCentres and Wal-Mart in Quebec. Located North-East of Montreal, the town's powerful growth of the population and local economy were key in the decision to bring a major commercial centre, anchored by Wal-Mart, to the community. The project was realized with the acquisition of 37.45 acres of land at the crossroads of Highway 25 and 640 along Montée Masson.

Once Wal-Mart officially opened in 1999, the project rapidly drew numerous tenants interested in investing in a booming market. The area located around the centre is already seeing the positive impact. Montée Masson has been transformed from an under- developed regional road to a major commercial artery with numerous new private projects. The SmartCentres and Wal-Mart Centre will be fully developed by early 2002 and the project has been met with resounding support from the tenants, the community and its residents.
