Groupe Farand, specialists in major real estate projects such as Luminia in Saint-Zotique, has begun construction of its latest project in Coteau-du-Lac. Nautica will take place on Chemin du Fleuve, next to the marina. 

The real estate project will comprise two buildings with twelve condonomiums each, including indoor parking, an elevator and a private dock for owners to moor their boats. 

Well-known in the region, Groupe Farand is behind projects such as Le domaine du Comté in Les Coteaux, Néolia in Pincourt, Place des Brises in Pincourt, Domaine du Marais in Notre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot, Luminia in Saint-Zotique, Zone Urbaine in Saint-Lazare and Luxeo in L'Île-Perrot. 

This will be the developer's first project on Coteaulac territory. "Access to water and the possibility of private docks for each unit is really one of the reasons why we bought this land and one of the advantages of this real estate project. It will be a unique project for that reason. It's unprecedented in the region. We found the area attractive because of its proximity to Lac Saint-François, a spectacularly green body of water," confided developer and owner of Groupe Farand, Jérémie Farand. 

Work has already begun on the buildings at 246 and 248 chemin du Fleuve. "The first units are scheduled for delivery in December 2024. To date, 10 of the 24 units have found their new owners. The apartments will be 4-and-a-half or 5-and-a-half in size, and will range in size from 1,281 square feet of living space to 1,865 square feet," added real estate broker Judy Pomminville, who is handling the sale of the units with her colleague Jasmine Goupil. 

Two and a half parking spaces are provided per condo in the indoor parking lots included in the project. In both the four-and-a-half- and five-and-a-half-room units, residents will enjoy quartz countertops in their kitchens and bathrooms, an 18' x 9' balcony, wall-mounted air conditioning and pre-wiring for an electrical terminal. 

A generator will also be installed to provide power in the event of a power failure, notably in the building corridors and underground garages. An intercom system will be installed at the entrance to control visitor arrivals on site. 

For the time being, no outdoor parking for visitors to the project is planned. But the developer intends to remedy this. "I'm going to submit a request to the City of Coteau-du-Lac and follow the normal procedure, i.e. a submission to the Comité consultatif d'urbanisme for approval by the municipal council. I'm familiar with this type of procedure and I'm sure the request will be accepted," he concluded.
