Located in a booming neighborhood, Espace Montmorency – directly connected to the Montreal metro by the station of the same name – brings together a wide choice of apartments, restaurants, shops, cafes, a hotel and office space. A large project with audacious architecture by Sid Lee, which reinvents living together by bringing together several generations under the same roof.
Ideally located in Laval, in an area where Place Bell, the André-Mathieu hall, a campus of the University of Montreal, shopping centers and large green parks rub shoulders, Espace Montmorency stands out as a true urban destination. Composed of four distinct towers, this multifunctional 1.3 million square foot project offers a complete living environment where it will be good to live, have fun, work, and even learn. It incorporates green spaces, including a central courtyard the size of a football field which will host activities adapted to each season.
The complex, scheduled to open in April 2022, will showcase a vibrant, multicultural and inclusive community.
Easy access to transportation – and to MontrealEnjoy suburban life while staying close to Montreal, this is the unique proposition offered by Espace Montmorency. The complex is directly connected to the metro network by an underground access, which allows residents and professionals to get to the city center in just half an hour, and to access many other destinations, the Jean -Heel for example, in just a few minutes. In addition, Bixi and Communauto services are available at the Montmorency metro station, and the complex is bordered by a bike path.
Three rental concepts, a multigenerational vision Espace Montmorency offers three well thought-out lifestyles, distributed in distinct buildings and adapted very precisely to generational needs. The whole constitutes a real ecosystem where it is good to live in harmony.
The Yimby apartments, designed for students and young professionals, are distinguished in particular by all the common areas designed to encourage meetings and socialization. These include a community kitchen, a billiards area and arcade games, a sports lounge with table football and dome hockey, as well as a gym. Residents also have access to a shared workspace that facilitates teleworking.
Hoop rental condos, for their part, have been designed for young families and future parents. They provide them with a family room, a play area reserved for children, a multi-activity common room shared with Yimby residents and a lounge with indoor fireplace. In addition, dogs over nine kilos are welcome there, which is rare in the rental environment.
Habitations Waltz, intended for pre-retirees looking for a superior quality of life, are distinguished by a prime location, high-quality materials, luxurious common areas and a concierge service worthy of large hotels. Among the options offered, there is access to a cellar, a culinary workshop, a golf simulator, indoor and outdoor lounges with a fireplace, a spa and planting containers for gardening enthusiasts.
Remember that each type of dwelling is equipped with five appliances and that electricity, heating, air conditioning, hot water and telecommunications* are included in the monthly fees.
Common areas to live well together All tenants, regardless of the formula chosen, have access to an outdoor swimming pool, the large central park, a community garden (for a fee), a multi-sports field with running track, as well as a dog park located directly on the roof! The project even has its own grooming room for four-legged friends. In addition, each housing category has its own roof terrace, equipped with community barbecues.
An environmental commitment LEED certified, the project adheres to many principles of sustainable development in order to reduce its environmental footprint and contribute to the well-being of its residents. Espace Montmorency benefits from an energy loop that reduces the energy cost of the complex by 50%, which represents an 80% reduction in GHG emissions; it is considerable! Other measures in place include efficient water management, the use of healthy materials with low environmental impact, and the installation of white roofs and underground parking lots to reduce the heat island effect.
Above all, the vertical construction of the project helps prevent urban sprawl and densify a key sector of Laval. In addition, the mix of shops and offices makes it possible to optimize the space occupied on the ground. Finally, the proximity to public transport and the installation of 150 charging stations for electric vehicles and 700 spaces for bicycles testify to a desire to promote active, electric and public transport.
A multifunctional living environment that is welcoming, innovative and respectful of the environment, Espace Montmorency is a major visionary project rooted in the present and committed to the future of communities.
