Montréal, February 12, 2013 – Fonds immobilier de solidarité FTQ and its partner Groupe Lobato are pleased to announce that the Saint-Bruno-sur-le-lac project won the prestigious DOMUS award for the “Rental or condo unit of over $500,000 and less than $1 million” category, handed out February 9 at the 30th DOMUS Gala.

Created by the Association provinciale des constructeurs d’habitations du Québec (APCHQ) – Montréal region, the DOMUS contest has been honouring the best residential construction projects for 30 years.

“Now into the fifth year of our partnership with Groupe Lobato, we are proud to be associated with this solid developer, known for its high-quality projects on Montréal’s South Shore. This is the fourth DOMUS award for Saint-Bruno-sur-le-lac, a testament to its unique concept and high-end construction. We would like to congratulate the entire team for its excellent work,” said Normand Bélanger, President and CEO of Fonds immobilier de solidarité FTQ.

“This award shows that our project stands out in its market and is especially timely since we are launching the last phase, consisting of 70 luxury units, which have just been released for sale,” added José Labato, the project developer and Hugo Leblanc, the project manager.

The Saint-Bruno-sur-le-lac development is located on the shores of a private lake at the foot of Mont Saint-Bruno.  Fonds immobilier is a partner in phases II to V, which when completed, will offer about 150 condominiums and town houses.
