VAIA: More than 300 rental units to be built in Laval
The Fonds immobilier de solidarité FTQ and DevMeta initiate a promising new partnership
LAVAL, QC, Nov. 18, 2025 /CNW/ - The Fonds immobilier de solidarité FTQ and Dév Méta are joining forces in a new partnership and announcing the launch of the VAIA real-estate project, a rental residential complex of 305 apartments located at 2545 Curé-Labelle Boulevard, in the Chomedey district of Laval.
VAIA is part of a development that will ultimately include 610 units built in two phases, with the first phase scheduled for delivery in March 2027. VAIA meets the strong rental demand in Laval and offers a contemporary, accessible, and well-designed living environment. VAIA is aimed at young professionals, modern families, and active retirees. Located in the heart of Chomedey, this new project provides quick access to major highways A440 and A15, public transit, and a wide range of shops and services such as Carrefour Laval, Centropolis, pharmacies, supermarkets, restaurants, and numerous green spaces—everything to make life easier for future residents.
A name that inspires renewal
The name VAIA was chosen for its soft, fluid, and contemporary sound. Easy to pronounce, the name evokes movement, momentum, and renewal, while subtly nodding to the history of the site, which was formerly home to the Centre de quilles 440 from 1990 to 2023.
