We thank you for your suggestions, Ms. Morgan. Any ideas that promote active modes of transportation, such as walking, and that improve the daily lives of the citizens are always appreciated and considered.

Thank you for visiting our site, Ms. Morgan and sharing your thoughts with us. As previously mentioned, this project only involves part of the mall’s parking lot, between the food court and the Réno-Dépôt and does not involve the forest lands across the street.

Thank you again for your comments, Louis L. As to your comment on the project itself, we will be happy to discuss all aspects of the project when given the opportunity by City Officials. As previously mentioned, there are certain density benchmarks that need to be adhered to along with making the project viable to keep costs down for future residents.

We appreciate your feedback, Louis L. As mentioned, we are more than willing to look at the project as a whole with members of the City Council along with the City’s administration to discuss every component. We are waiting for the opportunity to discuss with them.

Thank you again, Louis L. for your comments. As previously mentioned, this project will be using a part of the shopping mall’s parking lot, away from other residential neighbourhoods and bordered to the south by Autoroute 40. Its model is to promote active transportation such as walking, cycling and the use of public transportation. As for the height of buildings, the density is necessary to conform to various rules and to make sure the project’s components such as the seniors’ residence and the rental units are accessible to seniors, young couples, and young families as well as to offer a beautiful central public plaza.

Thank you again for this very important question, Ms. Paradis. Density is the key to making this project accessible for young couples, young families and seniors’ wishing to settle into the seniors’ residence or looking to downsize after their children leave the home. Each component of this project is designed for maximum enjoyability but also to be accessible for everyone. It is the density that will keep costs down for those wishing to live in the project by supplying more housing options.

Commented on Parking Redevelopment CF Fairview Pointe Claire ^{1 year, 1 month ago}

Thank you for bringing up this important issue, Ms. Paradis. The project plans to have a system in place to recapture the rain and groundwater to recycle and recuse it, as well as situate it in place to avoid water accumulation issues in the project and surrounding areas.

Thank you again for sharing your thoughts with us, Ms. Paradis. We appreciate your feedback on creating spaces that nature and the built environment can coexist. The plaza has been designed for the green grassy areas, flowering shrubs, and tree canopy, comprising nearly a hundred trees of various native Canadian species, to be integrated harmoniously with the pavers to create a welcoming space. In addition, the plaza will host activities 12 months a year, such as farmer’s markets, exhibits by local artisans, concerts, movie nights, Christmas markets and more to give it that sense of soul for those wishing to enjoy the festivities. We continue to welcome ideas for activities to take place in the plaza.

Thank you for your comments, Mr. De Castris. To be exact, we are not proposing condos. Here are some of the key features of this new community. At the heart of the project is the new 50,000 square foot outdoor plaza that is public and open to the entire community of Pointe-Claire, designed for active and passive use. The plaza is designed to host activities 12 months a year, such as farmer’s markets, exhibits by local artisans, concerts, movie nights, Christmas markets and more. It will also include a best-in-class seniors/active living residence with 435 apartments and well as 24 units for those who need elevated medical care in order to avoid having to go to a hospital. The residence will have a direct enclosed connection to the shopping centre, extensive amenities and is within steps of the outdoor plaza, which is accessible for those with reduced mobility. It also includes two residential rental buildings totaling 445 apartments. The buildings are located directly on the plaza and there will be a grocery store and cafés in the base of the buildings.

Thank you again for sharing your comments with us, Louis L. With this project, we want to offer the Pointe-Claire community something they can be proud of, a beautiful plaza, a much-needed seniors’ residence along with rental units for young couples, families and people looking to downsize close to services and amenities all while complying with the PMAD, which is the Metropolitan Land Use and Development Plan of the Montreal Metropolitan Community. The PMAD recommends higher density transit-oriented development (TOD) projects in certain areas, precisely like our property and our project. A TOD is a medium-to high-density real estate development, structured around a high-capacity public transit station, such as the Réseau express métropolitain (REM), all without impacting other lower density residential sectors.

Thank you for your comment, Louis L. Density is an essential component for TOD-type (transit-oriented development) development, as required by the Metropolitan Land Use and Development Plan (PMAD) of the Montreal Metropolitan Community. The TOD type project has been the subject of in-depth discussions with the City of Pointe-Claire in recent years. It also complies with the Pointe-Claire Special Planning Program (SPU) in force for barely four (4) years as well as the zoning by-law. As well, the height of the buildings allows the footprint of each building to be reduced, allowing more space to be freed up for active and passive uses, trees, public areas, and the plaza. For the project to be economically viable and to offer the plaza and the seniors’ residence, there must be minimum benchmarks allowing everyone to benefit from it, including the city and future residents such as: young couple, seniors, and young families.

Thank you for sharing your comments with us, Mr. Kovic. Parking spots used for the project will be replaced in a new parking garage.

Also, our project is in accordance with the PMAD, which is the Metropolitan Land Use and Development Plan of the Montreal Metropolitan Community.

A TOD is a medium-to high-density real estate development, structured around a high-capacity public transit station, such as the Réseau express métropolitain (REM). Located within walking distance of a major access point to the public transport network, it is a neighborhood that combines active travel, social diversity, and urban design. With our project, Pointe-Claire has a golden opportunity to meet the growing need for housing while also fulfilling its obligations under the PMAD, all without impacting other lower density residential sectors.

We appreciate your feedback, Ms. Morgan. It is our belief that the project proposed achieves these goals by integrating new places for wildlife to pollinate and live amongst the new plants, shrubs and trees that will be planted on what is now an asphalted parking lot. Those living and visiting the area will have an opportunity to interact with the public space, as well as with the numerous activities that will be hosted on an ongoing basis in the plaza. We continue to look at opportunities for a green roof to be integrated on the parking deck as another way for residents to be able to connect with nature.

Thank you again, Ms. Morgan. We couldn’t agree more. As previously mentioned, our plaza will turn what is currently a parking lot into a project with a beautiful green space.

Commented on Parking Redevelopment CF Fairview Pointe Claire ^{1 year, 1 month ago}

Thank you, Ms. Morgan for your comments. This project will be right outside our doors in the parking lot, between the mall and Reno-Dépôt– not across the street on the John Abbott College lands, so no forest will be affected. Moreover, designing the project’s green spaces is Claude Cormier, a local but internationally renowned landscape architect. The plaza is comprised of grassy areas and a spectacular tree canopy comprising nearly a hundred trees of various native Canadian species. The health of these trees would be ensured by planting each one in 25 cubic meters of soil, a volume higher than those in most cities, including Montreal and Pointe-Claire. Under this canopy of tall trees, there would be a flowering shrub layer to attract pollinators, such as insects and birds.

Commented on Parking Redevelopment CF Fairview Pointe Claire ^{1 year, 1 month ago}

Thank you for sharing your comments with us, Ms. McKenzie. This project, which also includes a seniors’ residence, only accounts for part of the CF Fairview Pointe Claire Shopping Centre’s parking lot. At a time when many seniors residences have announced that they will be closing, this will be a valuable and important addition to the community, especially in the West Island where the need has been a longstanding issue.

The project, with its respective uses, will have their own parking spaces and there will be a new parking garage built to accommodate the parking needs of the shopping centre, especially during busy times of the year. The plaza will host activities during holidays, for example a Christmas market, and during the rest of the year will host farmer’s markets, exhibits by local artisans, concerts, movie nights, and more. We welcome any ideas you may have.

The project includes two 25-storey residential rental buildings totaling 445 apartments. These towers will be among the highest buildings on the site, because the best place for taller buildings is up against the highway. The other buildings will be a mix of heights and the buildings towards the north near Brunswick will not be as tall. The buildings are located directly on the plaza, and there will be a grocery store and cafés in the base of the buildings.

Modern construction methods and fenestration will mitigate potential noise from the highway.

Here are the components of the project that fills needs in Pointe-Claire:

The Plaza
At the heart of the project is the new 50,000 square foot outdoor plaza (which is larger than a football field) that extends out from the shopping centre right outside our doors. A plaza that is public and open to the entire community of Pointe-Claire, designed for active and passive use.

Seniors Residence
This phase of the project includes a best-in-class seniors/active living residence with 435 apartments and well as 24 units for those who need elevated medical care in order to avoid having to go to a hospital. The residence will have a direct enclosed connection to the shopping centre, extensive amenities and is within steps of the outdoor plaza, which is accessible for those with reduced mobility.

Residential Rental Towers
The project includes two residential rental buildings totaling 445 apartments.
The buildings are located directly on the plaza and there will be a grocery store and cafés in the base of the buildings. They have been designed so that the residential units are located above the REM tracks. The height of the buildings allows the footprint of each building to be reduced, which allows more space at grade to be freed up for active and passive uses, trees, public areas and the plaza.

As for parking, the project only concerns a part of the CF Fairview Pointe Claire Shopping Centre and the project will include its own parking as well. Everyone will be able to enjoy the new spaces offered by this project and do so peacefully.

Thank you again Andrée N. for sharing your thoughts with us.
As mentioned below, the project involves only but a part of the CF Fairview Pointe Claire Shopping Centre’s parking lot. And the project will also include its own parking spaces. There will be ample parking spaces for everyone to enjoy every facet of what this project will offer and the shopping centre.

The project involves but a portion of CG Fairview Pointe Claire’s parking lot and it will include its own parking spaces. Parking will not be a problem for those wishing to enjoy all the amenities offered by the project and the shopping centre.
