The Response

The future district of ​​86,000 m2 dividing into 10 buildings, 1 entrance pavilion, large green spaces and pedestrian corridors aims to create an authentic living environment through the activation of a mixed-use urban ecosystem, including student residences and affordable housing, a Residential and Commercial Pole, and civic amenities. Promoting a sustainable way of living, its combined green network and natural corridors will constitute the largest continuous urban pedestrian realm in Quebec, in addition to its 2,4 hectares of planted roofs and slabs which will make it the largest green roof in the province.
