Groundbreaking Ceremony

On March 5, Groupe a groundbreaking ceremony marked officially the construction of the WR3 condos in Bois-Franc, in the presence of local elected officials, including mayor Alan DeSousa and councilors Francesco Miele and Jacques Cohen, members of management, employees, and Groupe Montclair partners, Groupe Mach’s Pierre-Jacques Lefaivre, and Patrice Bourbonnais and Tom Arseneault of GROUPE PETRA.

This event had kick off construction, which is expected to run through spring 2020 when the condos are delivered.

After WR and WR2, this third phase of the mixed-use project features an innovative concept with modern residential units and commercial units on the ground floor, providing condo owners with access to a range of shops and essentials services.

“The WR3’s ideal location across from the future Bois-Franc REM (Réseau express métropolitain) station is certainly a major advantage, combined with an exceptional living environment in Bois-Franc and easy access to shops,” said Montclair sales and marketing director Nicolas Galardo.

With the arrival of the REM (Réseau express métropolitain), Bois-Franc residents will be able to travel more efficiently to the downtown core – and even to Montreal’s international airport.

What is the REM?

The REM will be one of the largest automatic transportation systems in the world. It will consist of 27 stations divided along 67 km of double tracks and will include the Bois-Franc station. During peak hours, trains will have four cars, carrying 600 passengers every five minutes.

Will Bois-Franc residents benefit from the REM?

Absolutely. REM passengers will be able to travel to downtown Montreal, the international airport and the South-Shore and will also have access to the green, orange and blue metro lines. The travel time between the Bois-Franc station and the central station will be approximately 16 minutes during peak times. Moreover, bus routes will have stops at various REM stations.

Remember: The Saint-Laurent borough, home to the Bois-Franc neighborhood, never stops transforming to meet its residents’ needs. It remains the leader in sustainable development and in quality of life, both socially and culturally. Each new homeowner in the Bois-Franc development can remain confident in his or her purchase because the promoters of this avant-garde project guarantee a living environment rooted in sustainable development.

In sum, there is no doubt that homebuyers will see the value of their upscale condos increase with the arrival of the REM in 2020!
