Evolo X is by itself a work of art.  It was therefore natural for us to mandate local artists to embellish the space with high-quality artworks.

Linda Covit, sculptor

One of the three sculptures made by Linda Covit

Since 1975, Linda Covit has created numerous art interventions presented in Canada, Quebec and abroad.  Her artworks address issues of nature, environment, and peace. In Montreal, you can admire the famous sculpture ‘le Havre’ installed on the Glen site of the McGill University Health Center.  In 2004, she collaborated with Proment Corporation on the production of six sculptures, set at Sommets sur le fleuve, representing the branches of a tree that rotate with the wind.

For Evolo X, Linda made three sculptures that are located in the square in front of the building.  The artist drew her inspiration from trips to Japan and ‘’River Reflexions’’ was born from the idea of creating a piece of furniture / sculpture that incorporates benches where the visitor can sit, facing different points of view.   It will offer walkers a peaceful spot among the mound vegetation, reflect the sun’s rays on the disks which represent the waves of the river and project shadows on the ground.

Viviane Case-Fox

We find works of art of Viviane Case-Fox in numerous private and public collections. They are available in galleries in both the United States (New York and Fort Lauderdale) and in Canada (Montreal and Toronto).

Resident of Nuns’Island, Canadian artist Viviane Case-Fox was born in Canada in 1950 from Hungarian parents. To improve her technique, she studied at the Ottawa School of Art, at the Saïdye Bronfman Centre in Montreal and at the Center of Visual Arts in Westmount. The acrylic paintings and oil paintings of Viviane Case-Fox bring visual pleasure leaning towards abstraction. The colour, brightness of Viviane Case-Fox’s paintings often transport us into a world of exuberant contrast, emotion and sensitivity.

Lemay Michaud and Visual Home

Origami-inspired artwork – boats floating in the air

Lemay Michaud is a Montreal-based architectural firm that has been collaborating with Proment Corporation for several years.  They have designed the lobby and common areas of Sommets III and  IV, Le Vistal and Evolo 1 and 2 towers. For more than 40 years, this innovative firm designs living spaces for both residential and commercial. The creativity and know-how of Lemay Michaud have been awarded numerous times by the industry.

Inspired by the water surrounding the Evolo X building, the team of Lemay Michaud conceptualized, for the lobby ’Rêveries sur l’eau’’ a mobile steel reminiscent of origami sailboats.  Small lights are installed on the floor, below the artwork, and mimic the shining water.  The folding of the forms was done by the firm Visual Home, who specializes in the manufacture of custom architectural elements.  One can admire their achievements in several commercial buildings and public spaces.

Stefanie Austin, from The Shed Yoga in Pointe Nord

Nuns’ Island resident Stefanie has taken over the reins of the yoga studio. Originally from Abitibi, Stefanie has a Bachelor’s degree in kinesiology from Concordia University and is a New York-certified yoga teacher. Previously, she was a private trainer offering her services in gyms and at her clients’ homes.

A new energy

The type of yoga Stefanie offers is based on alignment and aims to achieve the best position for the poses. “Many things change when you practice yoga on a regular basis. New energy starts flowing, encouraging us to leave behind behaviors and relationships we’ve outgrown. That’s why I chose the name Shed, to symbolize shedding your old skin. Shed also means a simple roofed structure, which perfectly conveys the simple and authentic space I’m seeking to create,” she explains.

A customized approach adapted to the community

The studio has a varied schedule for greater flexibility. “We offer classes early in the morning for those who have to head out for work, for example. We also offer Pilates in addition to yoga. And every Saturday morning, children ages two to five can come to do yoga with their parents.” Other types of classes may be added based on demand.

A unique approach

“There are tons of yoga studios opening all over. I want to stand out from the others not only by offering a variety of classes but also by the spirit that reigns in the space. My goal is to create a sense of community. I want the people who come here to be glad to see one another, to feel like they belong and to pick up on the energy all around them.

The studio will also offer 2–3-hour workshops once a month.

“This location is a gem. I want people to feel at home. It’s their space. As a yogi, I’m here for the long run,” says Stefanie.

We welcome Stefanie and wish her and her team members much success.

Quartier Pointe Nord is located near downtown Montreal and along the St. Lawrence River. It has undergone a profound transformation in recent years. The construction of high-end condominiums has attracted dynamic homeowners and young families. The view of the St. Lawrence largely contributes to the charm of the area. The neighbourhood entails several local shops and retail boutiques lining the streets.

Here is a sample of the 5 questions most often asked by buyers who first discover the neighbourhood:

1. Why would I consider Pointe Nord as a place to live?

Pointe Nord neighbourhood is a special and unique place. Made from the vision of a single developer, this new, dynamic area reflects a long-term future goal to create a futuristic neighbourhood, emphasizing the principle of sustainable urban planning. Pointe Nord is easily accessible, bordered by two major roads and surrounded by the St. Lawrence River, beautiful greenery, and walking trails. The neighbourhood has been growing over the years and is home to many local shops such as a bakery, restaurants, a beauty salon, and more. Several retail stores will be added to the ground floor of the MYX building, including a bookstore, a delicatessen, and other services.

2.  Who is the real-estate developer and what other projects has he developed?

Proment Corporation is the developer and visionary of the Pointe Nord neighbourhood and has been Nuns’ Island primary residential developer for nearly 40 years. Proment has extensive experience in the planning and design of living spaces and has built more than 7,000 condominiums and homes, and six riverside communities. Its greatest achievements include: Les Verrières, Le Club Marin, Les Sommets sur le fleuve, the first LEED Gold-certified residential towers in Quebec, Le Vistal and Evolo, as well as Quartier Pointe-Nord, one of the rare LEED GOLD ND certified neighbourhoods in Canada.

3.  Is access to public transit easy?

Pointe Nord is well located and has easily accessible public transportation. Several bus lines run to downtown Montreal or the South Shore. The upcoming arrival of REM line will optimize travel to downtown and even to Dorval Airport.

4.  Who are the people living in the neighbourhood?

Pointe Nord is a dynamic and cosmopolitan neighbourhood, with a nice mix of people settled in that area. Of note, most residents were already living on Nuns’ Island, many of them in one of Proment’s projects. The neighbourhood includes many professionals working in and around downtown, young families and active retirees.

5.  When do you plan to put the next phases on the market?

We are currently working on the development of two towers with a height of about 40 floors. Sales are planned to start in the fall of 2019. Stay tuned and be among the first to hear about our project!

In 2010,  #pointenord neighbourhood has received the LEED ND Gold certification, for its eco-friendly features. Since, several real-estate developers has incorporated the principles of sustainable development to their planning.  Danielle Bonneau, from La Presse Plus, has interviewed Louis-Joseph Papineau, Eng.

MYX urban chalet

Community spirit

MYX’s common areas were designed to make it easy for residents to strike up a conversation with each other. Located on the roof, MYX’s amenities include:

• An outdoor pool with a vast terrace
• A gym and fitness studio
• An urban chalet equipped with a kitchen and flexible spaces for working or relaxation

Evolo X construction is moving forward at a steady pace.  Over a hundred workers are working together to construct this towering 36-storey building and the 283 luxurious condos that will be in it. The building is sold out and first residents are expected to move-in by December 2019.

Top notch equipment

Every detail of Evolo X has been carefully considered to offer residents comfortable living areas with cutting-edge facilities. A perfect example of this is the AGILE elevator selected for the building. The elevator system’s smart digital design uses a touchscreen to assess who’s going where, group together those going to neighbouring floors and quickly assign them to the same elevator. The result? Residents get where they’re going faster, and with 3 elevators in operation, they’ll barely have to wait.
