Fonds immobilier de solidarité FTQ Partners with Devimco Immobilier on MAA Residential Project

MONTRÉAL, Feb. 20, 2020 /CNW Telbec/ - The Fonds immobilier de solidarité FTQ is teaming up once more with Devimco Immobilier, this time on the MAA Condominiums and Penthouses project in Montréal's Golden Square Mile neighbourhood. Located on Peel Street, between Sherbrooke Street and De Maisonneuve Boulevard, the 34-storey building will be built directly above the MAA Sports Club, a well-known heritage building in Montréal. The $160 million project features refined, contemporary architecture that combines glass and the finest materials to showcase the facade of the existing building, which will also be restored. Construction began in October and the 300 condos are slated for delivery at the end of 2022.
