A SMALL BUILDING WITH FOUR SPACIOUS CONDOS

- M E G A N M A R T I N

When searching for a luxury condo, buyers often look to major downtown developmen­ts. And while extravagan­ce is sure to be found in these large- scale projects, it should also be sought in some smaller places as well: namely, in highend buildings with only a handful of units.

One of these smaller- scale projects is Le York in Ville- Émard. Constructi­on on the developmen­t is slated to begin in the spring, with delivery expected during the fall.

There are four units in the project: two ground- floor units that are divided on two floors, while the second- and third- floor units take up those entire floors of the building.

“Because of how the developmen­t is divided, each unit is very private and spacious,” said Sarah Thacker, real- estate broker with Équipe Tiffanie & Tanya of KW Prestige. “It’s an advantage small buildings often have: fewer units, better layouts.”

Condos i n Le York start at $ 315,000 plus tax and go to $ 349,000 plus tax, and the square footage ranges between 1,593 and 1,791 square feet.

All of these units have three bedrooms and offer parking as an option for purchase, but perhaps the most attractive feature of Le York is the ability for buyers to totally customize their units.

“Everything can be designed to the buyer’s wishes,” Thacker said. “It’s an amazing opportunit­y to create your dream space with quality finishings and touches throughout.”

All of the condos will have ample natural light, and because the upper units take up the whole floor, they will include three walls of windows for maximum sun exposure, and feature front and back balconies. The ground- floor units have balconies as well, and include extra outdoor living space.

These condos offer many other desirable qualities such as superior soundproof­ing, storage, hardwood flooring throughout, and a walkin closet in each master bedroom. Bathrooms will feature luxurious finishes such as ceramic tiling around the soaker tub and glass shower, and beautiful choices of vanities with ample storage.

“Condo fees are low, making this project very affordable, even to first- time homebuyers who are looking for larger units,” Thacker said. “Each unit has its own private rooftop terrace, with views of the city skyline, and of the whole SudOuest.”

For now, Le York is a single- phase project, but developers are exploring the possibilit­y of building a similar project on a neighbouri­ng lot in the coming years.

These condos are within walking distance of Jolicoeur métro, and buses running to Monk and Jolicoeur métros are located at the corner of the street. These units are very well positioned on a one- way street, meaning very little traffic or noise, but still within proximity of all services such as public transit, schools, daycares, gyms, grocery stores, restaurant­s and shops — and downtown Montreal.

They are within close proximity to the Lachine Canal, as well as popular neighbouri­ng areas such as Promenade Wellington and the Atwater Market.

Parks, green spaces and bike paths are close by for anyone looking for a walkable neighbourh­ood with outdoor recreation­al activities. The area is great for families as well as young profession­als, since it is such a short distance from the downtown core, but still very green. It is also ideal for investors; properties such as these condos are easily rented out since the SudOuest is a sought- after neighbourh­ood, with an availabili­ty of parking, proximity to the downtown core and to public transit.

The builder, Constructi­on M. C ., specialize­s in small developmen­ts and has projects all over Montreal, including in Lachine, HochelagaM­aison neuve,andn ow int he SudOuest borough.

“Because he specialize­s in smaller- scale projects, the attention to detail and the quality of the finishing is visible in every one of his units,” Thacker said. “It’s also very rare to find three- bedroom units at this price point and of this square footage, in popular and soughtafte­r areas such as Le Sud- Ouest.”

The location is, in fact, ideal for anyone looking to live a stone’s throw from the downtown core, while residing in a somewhat less hectic and more community- oriented part of town.

“Le York is really meant to optimize life for buyers,” Thacker said. “The units were designed to let people make the most of their days and truly enjoy the Montreal lifestyle — especially in our amazing summers.”
