Finally - housing for students
There is a blatant need for affordable student housing in East Montreal. This led to the idea of partnering with the Unité de travail pour l’implantation de logement étudiant (UTILE), an innovative social-economy business that is dedicated to developing, analyzing and promoting student housing in Quebec. The project is backed by the City of Montreal.
High-tech and accessible
The building includes 123 units at below private-market value and offers studios and 2-bedroom apartments. A high-performance energy-efficient exterior envelope is also integrated into the housing unit, helping reduce energy consumption by 25%, when compared to similar buildings.
