MONTREAL, Nov. 20, 2015 /CNW Telbec/ - Chartwell résidences pour retraités, Canada's largest owner and operator of retirement residences in Canada, is excited to announce, in partnership with EMD-Batimo Inc., that it will be growing its presence in Quebec to include a new independent living retirement residence in the thriving community of Vaudreuil-Dorion. The new site represents an investment of $65 million dollars with construction expected to employ 150 people. Permanently, approximately 45 jobs will be created once the residence is fully operational.
The first phase of the project will include 275 rental units. Additionally, 42 condos will be undertaken by EMD. At full capacity, the total units may extend to as many as 850. It will offer seniors in the community a contemporary and welcoming site with modern architecture, bright spacious suites and a warm, upscale decor. "Chartwell is excited to be growing our presence in Quebec, but most especially in the popular community of Vaudreuil-Dorion," said Maxime Camerlain, Chartwell's Vice President of Marketing. "This is the perfect location for active seniors to stay involved in an engaging setting, stay connected with family and friends nearby and expand their lifestyle with a range of services and programs onsite and in the adjacent community."
The prime location on Émile-Bouchard Street is close walking distance to a variety of retail shops as well as being in close proximity to the centre La Caravane Multisports and a new Local Community Service Centre (CLSC). The new residence is also close to major transportation routes including Highways 20, 40 and 540, an extension of Highway 30. The Vaudreuil AMT commuter train station is less than one kilometre away.
The new location will join Chartwell's existing network of 42 residences across the province and more than 180 locations across Canada. With an anticipated opening for the residence in mid-2017, the Sales Centre is expected to be open in January 2016. "We are proud to be bringing our vision of Making People's Lives Better and our values of RESPECT to even more seniors in Quebec," added Mr. Camerlain.
