Urbania – U-Bahn 1

Laval | 2022 – 2024

Located in the heart of Laval’s future downtown core, the U-Bahn project completes the Urbania block on boulevard Le Corbusier. Its final phase will comprise 4 buildings ranging in height from 10 to 18 storeys. The project’s location offers privileged access to a multitude of shops and restaurants. It is also within walking distance of the Montmorency metro station and three educational institutions. Each building has its own indoor parking and common areas. At the center of the block is a majestic garden with pedestrian paths and a pavilion with outdoor pool.

Urbania – The Urban Village

Laval | 2003 – 2014

The Urbania 1 project is now completed. It consists of 9 buildings of 5 to 18 storeys with a total of 757 condos ranging from 600 to 1300 square feet. Phase 2 of the “Urbania – The Urban Village” project is currently under development. Eventually, it will include 1,150 condos of 600 to 1,300 sq. ft. These apartments will be distributed in 8 buildings with 8 to 30 floors. An area of 40,000 sq. ft. will be set aside for commercial and rental space.

Le Daly-Morin
(Phases 2, 3 & 4)

Lachine | 2012 – 2017

Entirely designed by Giasson Farregut Ménard Architects, Le Daly-Morin is a condominium project totaling 174 residential units of 550 and 2000 sq.ft. near the Lachine Canal. Developed in four phases and completed in 2017, Le Daly-Morin offers modern living spaces in five- to six-storey buildings. The project also features indoor underground parking, green roofs and is designed on a prefabricated wall principle.

Bois-Ellen Solidarity Cooperative

Laval | 2014 – 2016

If we first notice the vivid colors of the 166-unit complex, it is the innovation in energy saving that makes it an avant-garde architectural achievement. The cooperative, built with the financial support of the Société d’habitation du Québec as part of the AccèsLogis program, is composed of two buildings aimed at distinct clienteles. The 13-storey wing has 110 units for seniors with a slight loss of autonomy. Families live in the 56 units of the 6-storey wing.
