First Chinese held Company to invest in a Quebec high-rise condo project
MONTREAL, Nov. 18, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - Tianco Group, a Canadian company with majority Chinese shareholders, has joined Montreal based Brivia Group in the development of YUL, Downtown Montreal's largest privately developed residential project. Tianco Group is also the first Chinese held company to invest in the development of a high-rise condo project in the province of Quebec. YUL condominiums Inc. also announces the beginning of the process of preparing the site in order to begin construction work.
The YUL development will comprise two 38-story condo towers and 17 town houses, at 1400 René-Lévesque West, at the intersection of Mackay Street. The total cost of the project is estimated at $300 million.
''We have a long-term vision for Downtown Montreal. YUL demonstrates our desire to stand out from other real estate projects and position YUL as Downtown Montreal's most prestigious address. YUL, as a major real estate development, will contribute to promoting Montreal on the international stage,'' declared Kheng Ly, President and CEO of Brivia Group, who also expressed how happy he was to be entering into a partnership with Tianco Group.
"We are very excited to contribute to the revitalization of this part of Downtown Montreal. The arrival of YUL is a much-needed breath of fresh air for this downtown area that has been neglected for far too long," added Steve Di Fruscia, CEO of Tianco Group.
The two condominium towers will offer a total of more than 800 residential homes, comprised of 3 ½, 4 ½, 5 ½ condos, penthouses and townhouses. More than 40 unit models are available, which can suit any buyer's needs, with some homes that can be entirely custom designed.
YUL will offer high-end exclusive services to its residents, including a spacious garden of 23,000 square feet, an urban gym, an indoor pool, and an outdoor pool. On the 38th floor, a Sky Lounge will allow residents to enjoy panoramic views of Downtown Montreal, the Saint Lawrence River and Mount Royal.
The renowned architectural firm, Menkès Shooner Dagenais LeTourneux, has developed the unique structural concept, which will allow YUL to stand out from other projects.
The construction of the first tower will be completed in spring 2017; more than 40% of its units have already been pre-sold. The YUL development is the most important privately developed residential real estate project Downtown Montreal has seen for many years.
