Fonds immobilier de solidarité FTQ
Inks Partnership Deal with Développement MAP
MONTRÉAL, Sept. 30, 2014 /CNW/ - Construction of the Mùv Condos multiresidential project at the corner of Molson Street and Saint-Joseph Boulevard in Rosemont – La Petite-Patrie is on track, with delivery slated between summer and fall next year. This first phase of 187 units is attracting both first-time and repeat buyers in search of a modern design and a green urban neighbourhood.
The Fonds immobilier de solidarité FTQ and Développement MAP recently partnered on this $47 million development, which once completed will offer 343 condos, urban houses and penthouses. "When we consider partnering on any project, the first thing we look for is a developer with vision and who is prepared to give his all to make the project a success. Développement MAP's team got it right with Mùv condos. It's a well thought out project that reclaims an industrial site that once housed the Norampac plant. We invested $3.8 million in this development because we are confident that it will be successful and what's more, it will create some 360 jobs," said Normand Bélanger, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Fonds immobilier de solidarité FTQ.
"We're striving to create a neighbourhood within a neighbourhood with this project. We're also seeking to cater to the needs and tastes of our clients by offering them different types of units as well as by adopting sustainable construction practices that include integrating green spaces and a rooftop garden. The building will be more energy efficient than required by code, and high-performance equipment will reduce water consumption," continued Jacques Plante, President of Développement MAP.
Owners will appreciate the project's environment, its proximity to Pelican Park, Technopole Angus, Plateau Mont-Royal and Promenade Masson. All Mùv units will offer large, energy-efficient windows positioned for maximum sun exposure along with several common areas. The first phase will see the construction of a rooftop urban chalet with a fireplace. Equipped with a kitchen, BBQ area and terrace, it will offer unparalleled views of Mount-Royal Mountain. A fitness room and an indoor pool will follow in phase 2.
