I did a map in the Rimouski forum of downtown east side showing the location of current and future developments, i thought it might interest you guys.
Most of the area north of St-Germain street was made of landfill in the 60's and a light industrial park was planned there at the time, yes a waterfront industral park. Luckily only one light industry was ever built and thus the area stayed under utilized and is filling slowly since.
