A major housing project has entered a key phase near the future Fairview-Pointe-Claire REM station.
Lacey Green Village is a joint effort between developers Prével and TGTA located in the city of Kirkland on the West Island.
Lacey Green Village takes up nearly 1.6 million square feet, situated south of Brunswick Boulevard, said Prével in a news release. The plan includes about 950 housing units in the form of condominiums and rental apartments, plus 111 townhouses and 47 single-family lots.

The announcement follows years of resident opposition to earlier proposals. The final plan was developed after six years of public consultation, in collaboration with the city of Kirkland and more than 500 citizens.
A nine-story rental building is now being built in Lacey Green Village, described as the first in an “inclusive, intergenerational neighbourhood,” in the release.
The development will not include social housing units or affordable housing, an issue raised last year when the Lacey Green Project was first announced.
Prével said that the project will take a sustainable approach to its development. The developer describes Lacey Green Village as a “sustainable response to the housing shortage,” emphasizing efficient water management, electric-powered parking lots, and green spaces.
