Maxi officially opened its doors on September 11, 2025.
Traffic circulation on the site is now possible. Most of the landscaping for this phase has been completed, including paving, trees, bike racks, and waste bins.
Public benches will be installed in spring 2026, along with the opening of the rooftop urban gardens planned for the warm season.
Phase 2 - Sale
Update – January 2026
The decontamination and excavation of the site are now complete. Blasting work was carried out successfully and was completed on January 6.
At this time, the teams are proceeding with the excavation of the rock in order to finalize the details of the foundations, including the footings and slabs.
The installation of the crane is scheduled for Monday, January 12, which will help accelerate the sequence of structural work.
Formwork for the foundations will begin as of January 13. The concrete pour for the ground floor is planned for late February.
Finally, formwork for the structure is currently scheduled to be completed toward the end of May.

What are the condo fees and what do they cover?
Condo fees are estimated at $0.46 per square foot, and include hot water supplied via a centralized gas system (no water tanks inside units — no running out of hot water!).
