When the two-tower Le Moden condo development rises in the Ville-Marie borough of Montreal, residents of the 126 units will find a living environment of urban convenience.
Bertone Development Corporation’s $50-million project, which just celebrated its ground-breaking ceremony, consists of a four-storey and a 10-storey condo with ground-floor commercial space. “Our project is a model of urban development that takes into account the new realities of mobility,” says Claudio Bertone. “Many buyers have appreciated the concept as much as the architecture on a human scale.”
Located next to Frontenac métro station on the green line, a BIXI station, bus stops and a bike path, the project also promotes active mobility around the large Médéric-Martin park and a shopping centre that will soon be completely renovated by Bertone.
“The goal is to enrich the life of the neighbourhood and create a friendly living environment for residents, all at the doorstep of a highly accessible downtown core,” adds Michael Bertone. A public square is also planned at the heart of the project.
The real estate company teamed with NEUF architect(e)s. Le Moden is in keeping with modern trends, while its red brick cladding is reminiscent of the district’s industrial past.
The units include studios, starting at $264,900 and one- to three-bedroom condos, each with a private outdoor space. On the roof of the 10-storey building, a few penthouses have been designed with private terraces. Two other terraces are common areas, each with views of the Jacques Cartier Bridge and downtown skyline. On the ground floor, there are co-working spaces and two private teleworking offices.
