Square Children's: ESTWEST sells 95% of condos in phase 1, the "EST" tower, in just a few weeks

Sales begin for units in the second phase, the "WEST" tower

MONTRÉAL, Nov. 14, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - As a result of strong buyer demand for the "EST" tower, the first phase of the ESTWEST condominium project located in the heart of the Square Children's development, Devimco Immobilier announces that more than 300 units in the second phase will go on sale.

Having sold more than 95% of the condos in the "EST" tower of the ESTWEST project in just a few weeks, the developer has decided to move up the sale of the second phase, the "WEST" tower.

"Almost all of the 307 units in the first phase have been sold and construction has not even started yet," said Serge Goulet, President of Devimco Immobilier. "This demonstrates the appropriateness of our choice for revitalizing the site of the former Children's Hospital and creating more housing in downtown Montreal."

The Square Children's project will not only revitalize the historic site but also bring new vitality to the entire neighbourhood. The site will ultimately include nearly 1,400 residential units. Devimco Immobilier has partnered with the Fonds de solidarité FTQ and Fiera Capital Corporation to complete this $400-million project.

Located in the Shaughnessy Village area, ESTWEST reflects the meeting of two worlds. The first building, located to the east, will recall elements specific to the Orient through its architecture and design, while the second, to the west, focuses on the theme of the West and will be inspired by California.

The project is part of an urban renewal initiative for a site of great historical value.

"We are creating a prestigious place that blends in perfectly with the neighbourhood, while adding value for its citizens. In addition, large institutional gardens, communal green spaces and a park are central to our commitment to buyers," Mr. Goulet added.

Highlights of the second phase, the "WEST" tower:

• Over 300 units ranging in size from 270 to 1,833 square feet
• Studio units, one- to three-bedroom units, and penthouses on the upper floors
• An urban cottage on the top floor
• An oasis-type pool on the terrace
• On-site concierge
• Indoor parking for cars and bicycles

Prospective buyers for Phase 2, the "WEST" tower, can register on the website www.estwestcondos.ca for a launch event scheduled for spring 2018.
