MONTRÉAL, Nov. 28, 2025 /CNW/ - Prével and TGTA, in close collaboration with the City and residents of Kirkland, are officially launching the residential phase of Village Lacey Green, a complete neighbourhood featuring more than 1,000 homes. This milestone marks the start of construction on a nine-storey rental building with 252 units -- the first in what will become an inclusive, intergenerational community located just a short walk from the future REM Fairview–Pointe-Claire station.
This stage reflects strong community engagement and ongoing collaboration between the advisory committee, municipal administration and the developer, with the shared goal of creating a sustainable living environment and improving access to high-quality public transit.

Smart density and homes that meet today's needs
The first rental building sets the tone for a thoughtful, well-planned densification of the site. Located on the eastern portion of the property, it is built above two levels of underground parking -- a design that reduces heat islands -- and offers more than 193,000 sq. ft. of net residential space. In total, the building includes 129 one-bedroom units, 87 two-bedroom units and 36 three-bedroom units, addressing the needs of a diverse mix of residents. Tenants will have access to 279 parking spaces equipped to support electric-vehicle charging, along with 253 storage spaces and 252 bike racks.
Designed by Provencher Roy and Gauvreau Design, this initial phase draws inspiration from mid-century architecture. Expansive windows maximize natural light, while a series of shared spaces -- a welcoming lobby, a rooftop terrace and pool, and a landscaped courtyard -- foster relaxation, social connection and a strong sense of community.
A multi-phase build taking shape
Village Lacey Green spans nearly 1.6 million sq. ft. south of Brunswick Boulevard. At full build-out, the plan provides for approximately 950 homes (condominiums and rental apartments), 111 townhomes and 47 single-family lots. Building heights will gradually increase toward the REM station, ranging from four to twelve storeys. More than 17% of the site will be dedicated to parks and public spaces, including a central park that will double as a skating rink in winter.
This phased development approach balances respect for the existing character of the Lacey Green area with a sustainable response to the housing shortage. Prével and TGTA have adopted an incremental strategy in which each phase begins once the previous one is complete, ensuring a cohesive, well-coordinated build-out of the neighbourhood.
A sustainable and community-driven vision
The project is guided by principles of sustainable development: building orientations designed to preserve sightlines, water-management strategies, electrified parking infrastructure and generous green spaces. Consultations held since 2019 with residents and a dedicated working group helped co-create a neighbourhood aligned with local expectations and supportive of active mobility. More than 550 residents attended the presentation of the final plan, demonstrating broad community support.
Quotes
"It is essential to pursue smart, well-planned density near REM stations to broaden access to high-quality public transit. My team and I are especially proud to have achieved this in true co-creation with residents, who established a genuine advisory committee, and with the full support of the Kirkland municipal administration, which was engaged, constructive and committed from day one. Together, we worked with diligence, respect and empathy -- and with remarkable efficiency. There is no question that this approach merits being repeated."
