Investing for energy efficiency and tenant comfort!
In 2024, the SHDM undertook major renovation work on three residential buildings in the Sud-Ouest district.
Offering 20 affordable housing units for individuals, couples, and families, this « Pour Tous » building complex received an investment of over $930,000 to replace doors, windows, and certain architectural elements, as well as improve insulation.
These renovations are expected to enhance energy performance by 15% and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 17%, contributing to the sustainability of our buildings, reducing our environmental footprint, and maximizing the quality of life for our tenants.
A big thank you to the Capital Assets team for completing this project.
Major renovations at Rigaud
The SHDM is proud to announce the completion of the refurbishment work on the terrace of the 17th floor of Le Rigaud, the largest Autonomie+ building in the SHDM portfolio, offering 312 affordable housing units to independent individuals aged 55 and over. The terrace now provides tenants with a revitalized and secure outdoor space featuring breathtaking views of the city.
Work is also ongoing to upgrade and modernize the elevators to meet current standards and ensure long-term reliability. They will be completed soon.
It’s worth noting that these efforts follow the waterproofing work on the rooftop garden above the parking lot, completed last year, which allowed for a complete redesign of the landscaping around the building.
In total, nearly $3.9 million has been invested in this building over the past three years, with the aim of maintaining the property and enhancing the living environment for our tenants.
A heartfelt thank you to all our tenants for their patience and cooperation during this period of construction.
We also wish to congratulate the real estate team, particularly the technical advisors, for their expertise and exemplary management, which ensured that deadlines and budgets were met!
