Montreal outlet did not accept donations from the general public. "We want to sell quality goods to people, so, for now, we're relying on corporate donations," Rotman explained for The Gazette (Montreal) in 2006. By October 2006, the Montreal chapter has built three homes. "It costs about $75,000 to build a house, plus all the donated labour and materials," Stephen Rotman said for The Gazette (Montreal) in 2006. Rotman was optimistic that the new ReStore will generate "a couple of hundred thousand dollars a year" allowing the local Habitat group to step up the pace of construction to two houses a year. Habitat for Humanity Montreal built the first two houses in 1999 and the 3rd in 2002. On May 15, 2007, under leadership of Stephen Rotman, president of Habitat for Humanity Montréal, was unveiled a new house building project, which provide a home for a family in the Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough of East-end Montreal. In December 2008, two families moved in their houses, the seventh project built by Habitat for Humanity Montreal. Construction on this duplex had started in the spring. To build this latest duplex, Genworth Financial Canada, Home Depot Canada and MCAP donated $360,000 between 2006 and 2008. Construction companies also kicked in another $75,000 worth of materials. "It’s a very complicated process because we have to find the land and the volunteers that sign up to work on the site," said, in December 2008, Louise Legault, a local freelance writer who volunteers for the Habitat for Humanity Montreal. In addition to the volunteers, Habitat also pays to have professionals do the foundation, plumbing and electrical work. "Volunteers are mostly involved with the interior finishing work," she says. "Right now there are a lot of doors and lighting in the store," says Legault. Until 2009, Habitat for Humanity Montreal had built seven houses. On August 24, 2009, ReStore Montreal was closed and reopened at 4399 Notre-Dame Street W, three times the size, on September 8. The manager of Habitat for Humanity Montreal’s ReStore was Karin Kloppenburg in 2010. In August 2010, for a fourth consecutive year, TD participated in a Habitat for Humanity Montreal project by donating $10,000. On August 11 and 12, 2010, approximately 30 TD employees helped build a duplex on 5096-5098, Sainte-Clotilde in Saint-Henri district. On September 25, 2010, Habitat for Humanity Montreal hold its first ever Party in the Park event, at Parc Gadbois,
