of the Esplanade Cartier project.

Residential Spaces Designed for
Urban Living
The 20-story building, created in partnership with Ipso
Facto and TGTA and in collaboration with Desjardins and Pomerleau,
aims to achieve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas
emissions. The first residents will be able to move in by the
summer of 2026. Located at the heart of the Esplanade Cartier
project, between the future Tansley and Falardeau streets, the
building directly overlooks the central park to the west, a verdant
oasis rooted in the city centre. It offers views over the
superstructure of the Jacques Cartier Bridge. To the east, tenants
on the upper floors will enjoy views of the Saint Lawrence
River.
Encouraging Interaction Among
Residents
Future tenants will also benefit from communal spaces and
amenities perfectly adapted to urban living:
- A café-style lobby with coworking space
- A rooftop terrace with BBQ and outdoor pool
- Access to a complete sports centre, including a gym, indoor
pool, and state-of-the-art equipment.
Quote
"The construction of this new rental building allows for a
critical mass of housing units to be launched in the heart of
Montreal at a time when the city
needs it most. The new residents of Esplanade Cartier will also
contribute to enhancing the commercial and service offerings, thus
promoting the revitalization of Sainte-Catherine Street East." -
Laurence Vincent, President,
Prével
Lot 2: Beyond
Expectations
Moreover, new tenants of the housing complex on Lot 2 have moved
in at the beginning of June, as scheduled. However, demand has
exceeded expectations, with nearly 60% of the units already rented,
underscoring the urgency to accelerate housing starts. Hence, the
start of construction on Lot 3 is excellent news.
The Esplanade Cartier
Project
Esplanade Cartier stands as a
flagship development by Prével, designed to foster a vibrant
community through its commitment to active transportation, public
transit, and green spaces. This innovative project encourages
social interaction among residents, workers, and visitors, offering
a dynamic public square and a diverse mix of local shops, offices,
restaurants, and terraces. It also integrates urban agriculture and
supports community initiatives, including the YWCA. It will
also introduce a project house, marking a first in Quebec's private sector. An expansive park
will provide recreational opportunities and connect to a
revitalized five-kilometre stretch along the St. Lawrence River to
the south and the future park beneath the Jacques Cartier
Bridge.
