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.
The building will include 122 units at below private-market value and will offer studios and 2-bedroom apartments. A high-performance energy-efficient exterior envelope will also be integrated into the housing unit, helping reduce energy consumption by 25%, when compared to similar buildings.
