Your everyday life. Your Laurea.
Laurea, a project designed to meet every ambition and every pace of life, whether distinct or complementary. At the heart of Montréal’s East End, Laurea brings together nearly 1,200 residential units, from studios to three-bedroom condos, as well as townhouses, in a development designed to evolve with different ways of living.
Just 600 metres from Assomption metro station, Laurea offers a connected location with easy access to public transit, the cycling network and neighbourhood services.
More Nature. More Connections. More Future.
Laurea is transforming a large site into a greener, more accessible community designed to last.
The project encourages active transportation with a private and public pedestrian pathway, dedicated bicycle spaces and convenient access to public transit. No surface parking will be provided, while the underground parking will include electric vehicle charging stations.
This approach contributes to more comfortable spaces and improved indoor air quality, while promoting more responsible resource use and the building’s long-term performance.
A Project Designed to Last
Laurea is committed to a sustainable development approach focused on creating a greener, more efficient and resilient environment. From the importance given to nature to building performance, every choice contributes to reducing the project’s footprint while enhancing quality of life every day.
More Than 50% of the Site Will Be Greened
More than 50% of the site will be dedicated to green spaces, with large-canopy trees planted in the ground, landscaped areas, green roofs and green terraces. The project also incorporates various heat island reduction measures, including underground parking, vegetated roofs and high-reflectance exterior surfaces. These features help reduce heat accumulation, create cooler spaces and bring more nature into everyday life.
Reducing Our Environmental Footprint
Laurea is implementing concrete strategies to reduce its environmental footprint, from energy efficiency and material selection to responsible construction practices.
The project aims to achieve a 40% reduction in energy consumption and a 99% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared with a reference building, in accordance with the 2020 National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings (NECB), as applicable in Quebec. Commissioning and ongoing energy monitoring will also help measure the performance of the building’s mechanical and electrical systems and ensure they operate optimally.
During construction, at least 75% of construction waste will be diverted from landfills. The selection of low-VOC-emitting materials, combined with an indoor air quality management plan during construction, will further contribute to healthier living environments.
Responsible Resource Management
Laurea incorporates solutions designed to significantly reduce water consumption and promote more responsible resource management. Thanks to high-efficiency plumbing fixtures, the project will achieve a 73% reduction in irrigation water consumption and a 40% reduction in indoor water consumption. Submetering for irrigation water and domestic hot water will also enable more accurate monitoring of water use.
Designed for Your Peace of Mind
Living at Laurea means having more than an address. It means enjoying an environment where each day can take different forms: a quiet coffee, a workout on the rooftop, a few hours of work in the coworking space, a walk in the park or an evening with neighbours.
Everything you need is within reach.
- Spaces designed for different ways of living.
- Shared spaces to move, work and connect.
- Shops, services, parks and transit that make everyday life easier.
- And a strong emphasis on greenery, bringing more nature into everyday life.
- Plus thoughtful features that make life simpler: secure key-fob access, surveillance cameras, an on-site manager and parcel reception.
At Laurea, the neighbourhood doesn’t simply surround your home. It becomes part of it.
