With a total length of 0.6 km, it links Sherbrooke Street in the north to René Lévesque Boulevard in the south.

The steet borders the main downtown campus of Concordia University, including the Henry F. Hall Building, Bishop Court Apartments and the former Royal George Apartments, whose facade is now part of the J.W. McConnell Building.
