3D Buildings of Montreal Boroughs with Textures, 2020

A digital 3D model of buildings for some Montreal boroughs, created in 2020. The dataset is provided by the Government and Municipalities of Québec in multiple formats, including textured CityGML and 3DM files. It was last updated on the platform in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Urban planning and development analysis based on 3D building geometry
• Creating realistic 3D city visualizations based on textured LOD2 models
• Energy consumption or solar potential simulations based on building massing
• Game development or virtual environment creation based on georeferenced city models

Strengths

• Model includes textures, which can enhance visual realism.
• Available in multiple standard 3D geospatial formats (CityGML, 3DM, GDB, DWG).
• Data is provided under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Spatial coverage is limited to some Montreal boroughs, not the entire city.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, complicating suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
