New Real Estate Project NOVIA in Longueuil by LSR GesDev in Partnership with Fonds immobilier de solidarité FTQ Will House the Offices of KO Group
LONGUEUIL, QC, April 26, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ - LSR GesDev is partnering with a group of private investors and the Fonds immobilier de solidarité FTQ to launch NOVIA, a new $105-million mixed-use project. Located at 300 Place Charles-Le Moyne, in the heart of new Longueuil, NOVIA will offer 273 residential units and 28,000 square feet of commercial and office space, of which 25,000 square feet will be occupied by KO Group's head office.
Pomerleau will oversee the construction of NOVIA, scheduled to begin in summer 2021 and to be completed in summer 2023. NOVIA is strategically located less than a 10-minute walk from the intermodal terminal, the Longueuil-Université-de-Sherbrooke metro station and shopping, thus capitalizing on the area's transit-oriented development (TOD) potential.
Promoting mixed use, this multigenerational complex was developed with a humanistic approach, where the layout is designed to maximize natural light. Office spaces will be personalized for tenants, and occupants will have access to two rooftop terraces, a gym, an indoor pool and self-service cars. A bistro-type restaurant will be located on the ground floor of the NOVIA tower.
Occupants will have easy access to a wide variety of nearby services such as concert halls, cafés, restaurants, bike baths and parks in a setting that offers spectacular views of the St. Lawrence River and downtown Montréal.
