This unique urban housing concept will take place on the "Premium Outlets" future site, beginning of summer 2013
MONTREAL, Feb. 12, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - Ray Junior Courtemanche and Daniel Proulx, sole Quebec promoters of the entire residential part of the project located west of the Laurentian Autoroute at exit 28, are pleased to announce the construction of La Cité de Mirabel, an urban development of more than 2,000 residential units, including condos, townhouses and tower houses for retirees. This development will be fully integrated with the "Premium Outlets" complex in Mirabel, which will occupy the same piece of land.
This state-of-the-art residential project of 2.2 million square feet, will generate an economic impact of more than half a billion dollars for the Mirabel area and create approximately 250 direct and indirect jobs over a period of 5 years. Construction of the roads and infrastructures is planned for May 2013, while the construction of the first houses, condos and townhouses is scheduled for June 2013.
La Cité de Mirabel's project is the result of lengthy negotiations between the two promoters and MSG Lac Mirabel Quebec SEC (Morgan Stanley Group and Sheldon Gordon Group), owner of the land, a 14 million square feet area. These two seasoned entrepreneurs were able to demonstrate that a residential portion would maximize the development of the area, providing unparalleled quality of life for future residents. A beautiful park with water games will be integrated into the project to enhance family life. Furthermore, a protected area of more than three million square feet has been renovated to preserve and protect the environment and natural resources, at a cost of $ 2.5 million dollars.
"We are very proud that La Cité de Mirabel will represent significant economic benefits for the region," said Ray Junior Courtemanche, Co-developer of the project. "Our perseverance and unique vision of the project allowed us to win the confidence of the foreign investors" says Courtemanche.
"La Cité de Mirabel comes to life thanks to the support of all our partners and collaborators, convinced by multiple approaches, including a few Montreal - New York trips to discuss in person with some of them," said Daniel Proulx, owner of La Cité de Mirabel. These efforts will have allowed us to put in place the much needed infrastructure to create, from scratch, La Cité de Mirabel.
