Louise Dupont, Associate designer at Lemay Michaud

Proment Corporation is setting the bar high with the Evolo NEX building, with the aim of creating a home that is luxurious, sustainable and functional. Louise Dupont, associate designer at Lemay Michaud, explains how her team addressed the developer’s 4 requirements and best practices for the design of common spaces.

1. Sustainable development

The ecological footprint is at the heart of Evolo NEX’s design, with a clear objective of LEED certification. Every design choice, every material selected, is scrutinized under the watchful eye of sustainable development. By favoring local materials, we stimulate the economy and reduce CO2 emissions from transport.

The designers have also favored the integration of natural materials such as wood, stone and wool in the design of common spaces. The integration of biophilia, with plants scattered throughout the various spaces, reinforces the link between residents and nature. Vast windows invite natural light to bathe the interiors, while outdoor spaces dedicated to gardening reinforce this connection.

2. Ease of maintenance

Proment aims to simplify residents’ lives by making common areas easy to maintain. Careful choice of materials, hard-wearing carpets and smart furnishings are designed to last, while maintaining impeccable aesthetics. Even the choice of varnish and wood for the condo doors is guided by this philosophy of durability and practicality.

3. Acoustics

Acoustic comfort is a priority for Evolo NEX. The materials selected for the walls and ceilings of the common areas are specially designed to absorb sound, ensuring a peaceful atmosphere and preserving the intimacy of the premises. The layout of discreet, well-equipped telecommuting rooms meets the contemporary needs of working from home, while a floor mat in the social room will attenuate ambient noise.

4. Attention to detail

Our attention to detail is evident at every stage of the construction process. Proment never compromises on aesthetics or the quality of materials,” says Louise Dupont. ”The aim is to create a building that will stand the test of time with elegance, while offering an environment that is easy for residents to live in and maintain.”

Evolo NEX is positioned as an example of modern architecture that harmoniously integrates ecological, aesthetic and practical imperatives. Under the leadership of Proment and the talent of its collaborators, this building combines comfort and sustainability for the benefit of its occupants.

Waterfront harmony: discovering the common spaces of Evolo NEX

Nuns’ Island is home to a new high-rise tower, Evolo NEX, whose common spaces were meticulously designed by the architectural firm Lemay Michaud.  Louise Dupont, the project’s associate designer, shares with us the nuances and inspirations that guided the creation of these living and relaxation spaces.

Spaces inspired by water

When it comes to designing the common spaces, it’s the waterfront aspect that stands out as the main source of inspiration,” says Louise Dupont. Colors, materials and even the rounded shapes of the furniture were carefully selected to evoke the tranquility of the riverbanks. The aim was to create a haven of peace by the water, a place where everyone can disconnect and recharge their batteries”.

Soft tones predominate, inviting relaxation and contemplation. In this spirit, the wall behind the doorman is adorned with felt, evoking the ripples left by the waves on the sand.

Locally sourced works of art

At the heart of the lobby will be a work of art by Montreal artist Melissa Del Pinto, as an ode to local creativity. Close to the doorman’s desk, this piece will capture the attention and wonder of visitors. In addition, another work fashioned from ceramic pieces evoking wa

ter sculpting shapes on the shore will complete the installation.

A social room that invites encounters

The lounge of Evolo NEX

Located near the elevators, the vast multi-purpose room invites residents to connect with their neighbours around the pool table, the TV to watch a sporting event or the kitchen with its bar.  More private spaces reserved for coworking will also be made available to those who wish to work outside their unit.

Relaxation area

The spa, meanwhile, becomes an oasis of relaxation, where tiered seating near the foyer offers an intimate space to recharge one’s batteries in a hushed atmosphere. It’s here that residents can escape the daily hustle and bustle and let themselves be enveloped by the serenity of the surroundings, while admiring the landscaped gardens.

In this way, Evolo NEX’s communal areas are much more than just places to pass through; they are places where art, nature and tranquillity come together, offering everyone a haven of serenity in the midst of urban bustle.

With 30% of the remaining units for sale, including 3-bedroom, 2-bedroom and 1-bedroom units, for delivery in the summer of 2024, this development promises to be a coveted haven for Montrealers enchanted by the Pointe-Nord neighbourhood.

Farewell Mr. Gewurz

Mr. Samuel Gewurz, President and founder of Proment Corporation

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mr. Samuel Gewurz, President and Founder of Proment Corporation. Samuel Gewurz will forever be remembered as an extraordinary visionary, an epitome of empathy, and a staunch advocate for all things human.

An impressive track record

As the primary developer of Nuns’ Island, he built more than 6 000 condominiums, homes, and townhomes, and 6 waterfront communities. Proment won many awards through the years, including, among others, “Developer of the Year”, “Green Builder of the Year”, and a special award for protecting the forest, Nuns’ Island’s natural heritage.

He felt tremendous respect and gratitude for the employees and consultants who worked with him in growing Proment and achieving its many accomplishments. He saw each accolade and award as a reflection on his whole team. Mr. Gewurz was awarded the Order of Canada in 2022 for his extraordinary contribution to the nation. He was also the recipient of the Médaille de l’Assemblée Nationale du Québec for his work establishing the Collectif pour L’Unité between the Jewish, Muslim, and Christian communities of Nuns’ Island. In loving memory, may his legacy continue to inspire, and the spirit forever shine in our hearts.

An extraordinary experience for Evolo Nex buyers

Ilan Gewurz with Evolo NEX buyers

Proment Corporation always aims to create unique and unforgettable experiences for current and potential buyers. An invitation was issued to visit the Evolo Nex building while it was still under construction. On Sunday, September 24, some one hundred buyers visited the site.

The visit gave buyers an opportunity to take stock of the project’s progress. They were reassured about the quality of the construction and the fact that the project was on schedule. What’s more, they said they felt incredibly lucky to have had this opportunity, which made them even more enthusiastic about moving into

Evolo Nex Construction update!

The mild weather of the past few weeks has enabled us to keep the project on schedule. The roof will be poured in November.

Tracing of the interior partitions has begun, and gypsum plastering will start shortly.

The development is surrounded by a waterfront park, with walking and bike paths that offer sweeping views of the river in all seasons.

Hairdresser on the Island for some twenty years, Mélinda Leoni chose the Pointe Nord neighbourhood to establish 5e Avenue, her new hair salon.

“The business owners in the community informed me of the need for a hair salon in Pointe Nord. I was charmed by the neighborhood; the atmosphere is very nice and the residents are exceptionally kind! I jumped at the opportunity, and I am delighted I did: I am well settled and I feel very welcomed.

Mélinda received her hairdressing training in Europe. However, while vacationing in Montreal, she liked the city so much that she decided to settle down and develop her career in that part of the world. Today, she is a hair color specialist and does not skimp on the quality of her products, namely she uses Kérastase and L’Oréal.

“My clientele has been loyal through all these years. I am always on the lookout for new techniques, and I regularly improve my skills by taking training courses in order to offer the best care while adapting to current trends.

A hair salon in full development

Open since November, 5e Avenue is in full development and various services are already offered: hair cuts, highlights, blow-dry, manicure and pedicure. Men and women will find something to their liking, as all are welcome.

Mélinda has hired a colorist, a manicure-pedicure specialist and plans to add another hairdresser in the near future to meet the growing demand. This addition will allow her to offer her services 7 days a week.

If you are in the area, come by and say hello to Mélinda whose smile and dynamism are contagious. The salon is located at 113, chemin de la Pointe Nord.
