A project signed by MONTONI in partnership with the Fonds immobilier de solidarité FTQ and Montez Corporation
CHÂTEAUGUAY, QC, June 7, 2024 /CNW/ - MONTONI, the Fonds immobilier de solidarité FTQ and Montez Corporation, in collaboration with the City of Châteauguay, are delighted to announce the start of construction of Écoparc Châteauguay 30, a green industrial project valued at $95 million. The building will feature nearly 450,000 square feet of space, divided into five industrial-purpose units. Strategically positioned along Highway 30 in the heart of Châteauguay, 25 minutes from Montréal–Trudeau international Airport, the development is in an ideal location for residents of the city as well as those in surrounding regions. Delivery of the building, designed by NEUF Architect(e)s, is slated for summer 2025.
This innovative project, a first for MONTONI in Châteauguay, is in perfect alignment with the developer's goal of decarbonizing its real estate asset portfolio. Construction is targeting LEED Gold certification for the building's core and shell, as well as Zero-Carbon Building – Design (ZCB-Design) certification, which addresses reductions in embedded carbon of construction materials as well as elimination of onsite combustion.
Écoparc Châteauguay 30 will comply with the industry's most stringent sustainability standards. The building's operational-phase carbon footprint will be reduced thanks to nearly 200 roof-mounted solar panels. The project is also targeting a 50% reduction in energy costs and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of more than 60% compared with a traditional industrial building, as well as a 50% reduction in water consumption.
"Écoparc Châteauguay 30 is yet another project in our expanding portfolio of real estate developments strategically positioned across Québec as part of the supply-chain sector. We build sustainable properties never compromising on quality that foster occupant wellness and that, we hope, will be a source of pride for future generations."
– Dario Montoni, President, Montoni Group
"The Fonds immobilier is committed to the real estate market's sustainability transition, and Écoparc Châteauguay 30 is perfectly in keeping with our approach to helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We are proud to be continuing our partnership with the teams at MONTONI and Montez Corporation, building for the future."
– Martin Raymond, President and CEO, Fonds immobilier de solidarité FTQ
