VISION 62
Modern condos designed to ‘harmoniously blend into the surrounding centennial buildings’ of St-Henri
While Montreal’s condo boom continues to dominate real-estate news in much of the downtown core, surrounding areas are also providing buyers with amazing alternatives located just minutes from the city’s centre. Among these communities is the St-Henri neighbourhood in the Sud- Ouest borough.
Historically, the area was a bustling industrial sector with factories serving the needs of the entire country. But much has changed over the years and, while odes to its past can be found in the form of many beautifully preserved buildings, the area today is best known for its wonderful restaurants, cafés, locally owned businesses, and conveniently located amenities and services.
Put simply, St-Henri leaves little, if anything, to be desired, which is why many developers love building in the area. Currently under construction in the neighbourhood is a project called Vision 62. Located mere minutes from the Atwater Market, Lachine Canal, and Lionel- Groulx métro station, the single-phase development on Rose de Lima Street is slated to be modern and trendy, with only 62 units available for sale.
“The project is offering one- to three-bedroom condos with a balcony, high ceilings, huge windows allowing for a lot of natural light,” said Amy Assaad, chartered real estate broker with Royal LePage, and the listing broker for the Vision 62 project.
“The condos are being built using high-end materials such as a concrete structure, quartz countertops, polished concrete floors, Italian tiles and energy-efficient windows. When everything is complete, their appeal will be distinct and elegant.”
Units will range in price from $169,900 plus tax for a 400-squarefoot studio, up to $619,900 plus tax for a 1,427-square-foot, two-floor penthouse. Underground parking will also be available for purchase for an additional $40,000 plus tax.
In terms of design, the building itself is being crafted with a sophisticated look that will suit the neighbourhood.
“It’s been designed to harmoniously blend into the surrounding centennial buildings within this ever-changing area,” Amy Assaad said. “There will be a big rooftop terrace with barbecues, lounges with breathtaking mountain and downtown views, and a landscaped courtyard as well. And, of course, it will include basics like elevators, an air exchange system, air conditioning, intercom, and an electric garage door system.”
The development is slated for delivery beginning in October.
“Vision 62 offers buyers affordable quality and unique architecture; not only is the construction itself top quality with urban style and modern units, but the surrounding amenities add value and make the location very appealing,” Assaad said.
“The neighbourhood is really unbeatable for anyone who wants to be close to everything they need, including downtown Montreal.”
Given how strategic the location is, developers are expecting to attract a variety of buyers — from young professionals and families, to empty nesters looking to downsize.
The community offers buyers the opportunity to live not only a convenient lifestyle, but also to be part of a bustling area with a truly wonderful social scene. Whether you’re into paddling a kayak down the Lachine Canal and biking along its pathways, or discovering new culinary delights and unique independent boutiques, St-Henri will not disappoint.
“Vision 62 is a modern and trendy construction at an affordable price, and everything you could need is within walking distance,” Assaad said. “It will allow buyers to discover the perks of true neighbourhood living.”
