Fonds immobilier de solidarité FTQ and Urbania continue developing the site near the Montmorency metro station

LAVAL, QC, June 25, 2025 /CNW/ – The Fonds immobilier de solidarité FTQ is partnering once again with Urbania, this time on U-Bahn Condos, a TOD located just steps from the Montmorency metro station in Laval. Attending the groundbreaking ceremony for the first phase of the project, consisting of 221 residential units over 15 floors, were Martin Raymond, President and CEO of the Fonds immobilier de solidarité FTQ, and Urbania president Stéphane Brault.

U-Bahn, whose name is inspired by Berlin’s subway stations and refers to its proximity to the Montmorency metro station, will offer a safe and peaceful living environment for active people who enjoy the vitality of the city and access to green spaces. The project is located in a highly strategic area of downtown Laval, with commercial, community and health services all within easy reach. A 130,000-square-foot private park, reserved for co-owners, will be developed in the inner courtyard. Well-designed common areas will enhance the occupant experience: a bright, lounge-style lobby; coworking space on the 16th floor; a rooftop terrace with exceptional views; and a well-equipped gym. Occupancy is scheduled for fall 2026.

Quotes

“We are pleased to be teaming up once again with the Fonds immobilier de solidarité FTQ, with whom we have been working on the development of this site for several years now. Our team is excited to break ground on this building, one of the few condominium projects underway in Laval today. We designed this project to meet the needs of a diverse clientele. Its common areas, green spaces, unit layout and downtown location are among the features that attract buyers.”

Stéphane Brault,

President, Urbania

“The launch of this condominium project is a novel response to the housing shortage in Québec. In light of the current market conditions, people are looking to buy. In fact, among our first clients, we have a majority of young people eager to make their first real estate purchase, as well as couples and retirees.”

Martin Raymond,

President and CEO, Fonds immobilier de solidarité FTQ
