A large crowd of stakeholders gathered to officially mark the start of construction on Montréal's newest residential development. The 44-storey condominium project called Solstice Montréal is being spearheaded by QMD-Ménard Consortium, and will grace the downtown skyline with a design by NEUF architect(e)s.
In unison with the ground breaking, development officials announced that $100 million CAD worth of units had already been sold. The launch of the Penthouse Collection, which will occupy floors 32 upward, will take place by the end of September.
"This official ground breaking constitutes the first step of building an ambitious and memorable project in the heart of a unique and remarkable city," said Michael Guilbault, Vice-President of Development of the QMD-Ménard Consortium. "With the team in place, we are joining forces to build Solstice Montréal. I know it will confirm Montreal's architectural prominence and our expertise in delivering a luxurious project, with human-scale details."
Upon completion, Solstice Montréal will contain 339 units held within a contemporary building envelope of two-toned glass. A red brick base establishes a connection with the city's built form and heritage, while the modern tower planted above echoes the characteristics of Montréal's building boom.
Providing plans with one, two and three bedrooms, all units will be afforded at least one balcony. Each floor has also been designed to offer six corner units rather than the four laid out in a typical rectangular floor plate.
Amenity spaces featuring oak wood, Montréal stone and copper include an owners' lounge, optional private cellar, indoor swimming pool, thermal spa, exercise and yoga rooms.
