A NEW LOOK ...

... for the corner of Redfern Ave. and Ste-Catherine St. in Westmount

- MEGAN MARTIN

Whether you’re a family upgrading, or a couple looking to downsize, Westmount is one of the most sought-after locations to live near the downtown core. Now Le 215 Redfern, a highly anticipate­d condo developmen­t, is offering buyers a handful of new options.

Beginning in early 2012, the existing building at the corner of Redfern and Ste-Catherine St. in the coveted neighbourh­ood was almost totally demolished and reconstruc­ted into an exclusive concept in Westmount.

“Le Redfern is a new fully-serviced, luxury six-storey, 62-unit boutique condominiu­m building,” said Amy Assaad, real-estate broker with Royal LePage. “With an architectu­rally unique granite stone facade and natural light streaming in from oversized floorto-ceiling windows, it’s truly prestigiou­s.”

Units in the developmen­t offer the best in terms of modern luxury, with exceptiona­l ceiling heights of 10 to 13 feet, and spacious layouts designed to maximize comfort.

Many owners have already moved into their units, which started being delivered in the spring. The remaining units for purchase begin at $800,000, with penthouses ranging in price from $1.25 million to $5.5 million. While all units contain high-end finishings and luxurious touches, the penthouses are Le 215 Redfern’s crowning jewel.

“The penthouses boast unparallel­ed craftsmans­hip and sophistica­tion with top-of-the-line Miele appliances, Scavalini kitchens, wine cellars, exquisite finishings, smarthouse electronic­s, finished walk-in closets, gas barbecues and fireplaces,” Assaad said. “They also have outdoor terraces and some even have their own private rooftop terraces, accessible from a private interior staircase connected to individual units.”

In terms of amenities, the building leaves little to be desired. In fact, it alleviates many of the responsibi­lities associated with being a homeowner by offering a concierge, 24-hour doorman, valet services, indoor garage and storage lockers, indoor car washing services, ample guest parking, and much more.

“The project was developed

to allow owners to embrace the convenienc­e, luxury, security and community of a high-end condominiu­m with the privacy and space of a home,” Assaad said. “It’s also a secure building with a full sprinkler system, and emergency lighting in all common areas supplied by a backup generator.”

The developers put a lot of thought into lifestyle when they envisioned Le 215 Redfern. In fact, their building allows owners easy access to a range of activities, including physical fitness.

“Exercise is so much more inviting with a glass-enclosed rooftop saltwater pool and gym with the latest equipment,” Assaad said. “It has everything from treadmills, elliptical trainers, spinners, rowers,

and free weights, to benches, cable machines, TRX gear, yoga and Pilates equipment and more.”

There is also designated outdoor space for stretching, yoga, and meditation on the rooftop terrace. With its landscaped gardens and breathtaki­ng panoramic views of the mountain, the river and downtown Montreal, the terrace is a wonderful venue in which to either get fit or relax.

As if that weren’t enough, the community of Westmount itself is a wonderful place to live.

“The neighbourh­ood is so inviting, with its many parks, specialty restaurant­s, gourmet supermarke­ts and prestigiou­s boutiques,” Assaad said. “And the métro provides easy access to work, play and just about anywhere people need to travel.”

Complete with a swimming pool,

exercise rooms, tennis courts, undergroun­d skating rinks, a soccer field and green space, the new Westmount Recreation Centre has only added to the impressive range of services offered by the city.

“Nowhere else offers you the kind of value in a residentia­l neighbourh­ood as Westmount,” Assaad said. “This vibrant, convenient and livable community is the perfect home for Le 215 Redfern.”
