Condos Miscéo
offers a unique urban living concept in Lévis. “We are proud to offer Lévis residents a modern, smartly designed condominium complex in a vibrant neighbourhood, within easy reach of many services. The Fonds immobilier de solidarité FTQ is proud to team up with such reputable partners as Florent Fortier and architect Pierre Martin, both of whom have brought their expertise and talent to this project. The future owners of these condos will enjoy an architectural and urban living concept like no other,” said Normand Bélanger of the Fonds immobilier de solidarité FTQ, a partner in Condos Miscéo.
