U-Bahn Condos breaks ground near Laval metro station

The Fonds immobilier de solidarité FTQ is partnering with Urbania on U-Bahn Condos. The transit-oriented development is inspired by Berlin’s subway stations and refers to its proximity to the Montmorency metro station in downtown Laval.

The developers have been working to develop this site for several years now.

“The launch of this condominium project is a novel response to the housing shortage in Québec,” said Martin Raymond, president and CEO of the Fonds immobilier de solidarité FTQ. “In light of the current market conditions, people are looking to buy. In fact, among our first clients, we have a majority of young people eager to make their first real estate purchase, as well as couples and retirees.”

U-Bahn consists of 221 units across 15 floors and range from two-bedrooms to studios. A 130,000-square-foot private park, reserved for co-owners, will be developed in the inner courtyard.

Common areas will enhance the occupant experience: a bright, lounge-style lobby; co-working space on the 16th floor; a rooftop terrace with views; and a gym.

All units have a balcony and include a parking space and optional integrated office space. There are three levels of parking, with an option to install EV-charging stations

Stéphane Brault, president of Urbania, said the building is one of the few condo projects currently underway in Laval. “We designed this project to meet the needs of a diverse clientele,” he said during the groundbreaking. “Its common areas, green spaces, unit layout and downtown location are among the features that attract buyers.”
