249 new housing units in Saint-Laurent
Quorum launches construction of a sustainable and affordable project in the heart of Montreal
MONTREAL, May 15, 2025 /CNW/ - During a groundbreaking ceremony attended by notable figures such as Emmanuella Lambropoulos, the federal Member of Parliament for Saint-Laurent; Alan DeSousa, the Mayor of Saint-Laurent; Vana Nazarian, City Councillor for the Côte-de-Liesse district; and Aref Salem, City Councillor for the Norman-McLaren district, Quorum announced the launch of its Dalia project. This residential complex will feature 249 rental units on the site of the former Valeant factory at 1956 Bourdon Street in the Saint-Laurent borough. Scheduled for completion in the summer of 2026, the project aims to provide sustainable and affordable housing, while seamlessly integrating into the urban landscape. Notably, a community consultation was conducted during the design phase to ensure alignment with local needs. The first phase, a seven-story multifamily building with 139 units, is currently under construction. The remaining three buildings, each three stories tall, will collectively offer an additional 110 units.

Located just steps from public transportation in a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) area, as well as nearby parks and major employment centres, the Dalia project has garnered support from the borough, local stakeholders, and residents. The Government of Canada has provided substantial financial backing of $93 million through the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation's (CMHC) Rental Construction Financing initiative, helping to bring this vision of modern, responsible housing to life.
The project is distinguished by its strong commitment to sustainable development. It is designed to achieve LEED certification and will incorporate a geothermal system, with a significant portion of the structure constructed using wood to minimize its carbon footprint. From the outset, recycling practices for construction material waste will be implemented. Several units will adhere to universal accessibility standards, ensuring inclusivity. Additionally, a community garden will be established on the rooftop, and a bike path will connect the neighbourhood to the nearby metro station.
Highlights
249 rental housing units
Solar panels on all buildings
Geothermal energy as the energy source for the entire site
Energy performance for each building 50% higher than the standards required by the energy code
Land allocation for the development of a multifunctional bike path along the railway and a public easement on the Dalia project site to connect the neighbourhood to the Du Collège metro station via Bourdon Street
More than 45% of the area dedicated to green space
Community gardens on the roof of the seven-story multifamily building
Land allocation to the adjacent school to allow for the expansion of its playground, benefiting the well-being of children

Cash-strapped Maryland revives plan for trains to Virginia and Delaware
Maryland is reviving plans to expand MARC, its regional rail service, into Delaware and Virginia and add more trains every hour, even as the state struggles to fund its current transit system. Under a proposal released last week by the Maryland Transit Administration, trains would run north to Wilmington and south to Alexandria, connecting MARC with regional rail systems in Pennsylvania and Virginia. They would reach further west to Cumberland. And they would travel more frequently between D.C. and Baltimore and Frederick, including on the weekend.
