Quotes

“We’ve made changes to our project in the last few month because of COVID-19. Among other things, we incorporated a dedicated area at the main entrance where delivery people can safely drop off parcels. We also widened all the corridors to allow more distancing, and we changed the apartment locks to automatic. To ensure the best possible air quality, each unit will be equipped with an independent air exchanger, which is very popular with tenants. We integrated workspaces in some units and in the common areas to facilitate teleworking. We adapted quickly and are convinced that our project offers features that will set us apart on the market. Building on the success of the CLORIA Vallée-du-Richelieu project in Saint-Mathieu-de-Beloeil, we’re proud to continue developing CLORIACITÉ with the announcement of this second project in Terrebonne.”

Maxime Camerlain,

President of Cloria connected communities

 

“We’re pleased to seize this opportunity to start a business relationship with a new partner from the next generation of real estate developers and to actively participate in the launch of a new banner with strong expansion potential. This project marks a new era, offering adaptations sought by people who are living through the pandemic. In addition, we are helping revive the Québec economy by investing in a project that will create a total of nearly 300 jobs in all industries.”

President and CEO, Fonds immobilier de solidarité FTQ
