Evolo  NEX building in the Pointe-Nord neighbourhood of L’Île-des-Soeurs has been awarded the prestigious LEED Gold certification by the Canada Green Building Council. This is the seventh LEED certification for real estate developer Proment.

A rigorous certification process

« Reducing the ecological footprint of our buildings is one of our contributions to diminishing our environmental impact and improving people’s well-being,» says Ilan Gewurz, President of Proment Corporation. “Obtaining LEED certification is part of a very strict process, and we are proud to have invested the necessary efforts to achieve it.”

To achieve LEED accreditation, buildings must address six categories: green site location, water efficiency, energy efficiency and atmosphere, conservation of materials and resources, and indoor environmental quality, in addition to being assessed for innovation and design. Once the project is completed, the Canada Green Building Council performs the necessary verifications to ensure that the building is built and operated according to sustainable development standards.

A clear advantage for residents

“In addition to consuming 30% less water than a standard building, Evolo NEX’s energy consumption is 50% more efficient than the energy code,” continues Ilan Gewurz. Residents’ heating and electricity bills will be considerably reduced.

Pointe Nord neighbourhood, nearing completion

The fifth tower of the Pointe Nord neighbourhood, Evolo NEX is 85% sold and welcomed its first residents in August 2024. Another building, located close to Evolo NEX, is currently in the planning stage. The 26-storey rental building will feature studios and 1 to 3-bedroom condominiums. Evolo NEX is the last chance to buy a new condominium in a Pointe Nord high-rise.

Located near the river and the REM station, the Pointe Nord neighbourhood offers an inspiring lifestyle with local merchants, parks and riverside paths.
