Quotes

"We're delighted to capitalize on the success of District Griffin's first rental tower, L'Hexagone (I), which was highly successful during it's first year after its launch with a high occupancy rate, clearly attesting to the quality of the product and the neighbourhood's appeal. This second phase will help address the shortage of quality dwellings in this part of the city. Our $4.8 million investment will greatly expand the rental offer, not to mention create over 600 jobs."
Normand Bélanger, President and Chief Executive Officer, Fonds immobilier de solidarité FTQ

"Choosing District Griffin means choosing to live in a charming, vibrant neighbourhood that is undergoing a massive transformation and that is within easy reach of services and downtown. Our goal when designing these two phases of L'Hexagone was to create a haven for Montrealers, cyclists, runners and hikers by building near Old Montréal, the Lachine Canal and the Atwater market.  We're proud to partner with the Fonds immobilier to diversify the housing offer in this highly sought after Montréal neighbourhood."
Serge Goulet, President, Devimco Immobilier
