MONTRÉAL, Aug. 11, 2022 /CNW/ - Placements BEAM Sainte-Catherine and the Fonds immobilier de solidarité FTQ proudly announce the completion of a boutique apartment building at 2190 Rue Ste-Catherine Ouest in Shaughnessy Village, a neighbourhood in the Montréal borough of Ville-Marie. Built by Demonfort, the building known as Maison Haute Ste-Catherine has retained its distinctive historic facade and is attracting both local and foreign apartment hunters in search of an urban, community-oriented lifestyle.
All services are within walking distance of the building, where the charm of the past blends seamlessly with modern living. With just 5 units per floor and 53 apartments in total, Maison Haute is all about privacy. The 2,437-square-foot ground floor will be occupied by a commercial establishment that will attract a clientele drawn to this neighbourhood in the heart of bustling downtown Montréal.
Maison Haute Ste-Catherine meets the needs of people who like to live in the city, where they don't need a car. Located near a wide variety of shops, restaurants, universities, hospitals and public transportation, the building offers indoor bicycle racks, storage space, a rooftop terrace with a view of Mount Royal, an exercise room and co-working space. The building welcomed its first tenants on August 1.
"Maison Haute is located in a popular area close to major commercial arteries. It is well served by public transit, including the Atwater metro, buses and trains, making it attractive to young professionals and students. Foreign students and professionals have also expressed interest in the project, showing that Montréal's universities and job prospects are still a draw."
Ali Lakhdari,
Vice President, Placements BEAM Sainte-Catherine
"The building blends in perfectly with the surroundings and neighbourhood. It is a true architectural gem as we have preserved its historic facade on the first floor, to which we added a modern touch with the 13 residential floors above. We also maximized natural lighting in the units for greater occupant comfort."
Florent Moser
President, Demonfort
"We are delighted with this new partnership with three Québec companies led by young dynamic entrepreneurs: Placements Beam Sainte-Catherine, the developer, Demonfort, the general contractor, and Gestion Immobilière Cogeim, the property manager. These young entrepreneurs already have a proven track record both in building restoration and in the development of new residential and commercial projects."
