MONTREAL — Proment Corporation recently broke ground on the Evolo FLEX project, a rental tower in the Pointe-Nord eco-neighbourhood, one of the few areas in Canada certified LEED Neighbourhood Development (ND) Gold.
Valued at $150 million, the build marks the final phase of a large-scale development along the shore of the St. Lawrence River.
The 26-storey building will be comprised of 314 units, ranging from 475-square-foot studios to three-bedroom units of 1,295 square feet, explains a release.
Evolo FLEX describes itself as a “luxury rental concept, offering residents greater flexibility while maintaining the elegance and quality standards characteristic of the Evolo series.”
Amenities include:
- A spa, including a Swedish circuit with hot tubs and cold dunks
- Outdoor pool, sauna and open-air gym
- Courtyard garden and landscaped areas
- Exercise room, lounge and reception hall
- Co-working spaces with a meeting room
- Indoor parking with charging stations and bicycle racks
Construction is anticipated to take two years, with delivery scheduled for summer 2027.
“Evolo FLEX marks the culmination of a vision launched more than 15 years ago: that of an exemplary, human-scale waterfront neighbourhood where nature, sustainable mobility and contemporary design coexist in harmony. This new rental tower meets a growing need for flexibility without compromising quality of life. We are extremely proud to launch this final phase of the project, which continues the vision I began with my father in 2008,” said Ilan Gewurz, president of Proment, in a statement.
According to the release, Pointe-Nord is one of the first eco-neighbourhoods in Canada to earn LEED ND Gold certification. Green roofs, sustainable transportation solutions, rainwater recovery and covered parking lots with parks and inner courtyards are among the features that reduce the environmental footprint.
The neighbourhood currently has approximately 2,600 residents (roughly 1,700 housing units), representing a total valuation of over $850 Million. Evolo FLEX is the eighth phase of the overall project.
Pointe-Nord covers a total area of 100,000 square metres.
