Reliance worked with the Zeller’s parent company – The Hudson’s Bay Company which is the oldest company in North America;to build three new stores and enlarge and renovate a total of nine existing Zellers stores throughout Quebec. Acting as team leader, Reliance directed logistics and design professionals in order to ensure that existing Zellers retail stores remained operational throughout the entire construction process.

The Forum, former home to the world famous Montreal Canadiens hockey team, had been empty for years. Rather than demolish the vacant building, Canderel and its partners, the Simon Property Group, DLJ Real Estate and Madison Marquette undertook the challenge of redevelopment, uniting the building's history and future to create a one-of-a-kind, modern entertainment venue, including movie theaters, restaurants and retail space at a cost of approximately 100 million dollars. The existing roof was raised 18'-0" to increase retail space and accommodate a 65'-0" IMAX screen, 3 levels of underground parking, 22 AMC movie theaters, a 3-storey restaurant/bar and smaller retail tenant spaces. The Forum remains one of Montreal's most recognizable landmarks.
