This is great news even if 677 housing units is just a drop in the bucket of what’s needed. The Écoquartier Angus block where this will be located has turned out to be very nice. It’s mostly non-market housing, there’s a nice pedestrian corridor through the block and there’s already some good businesses including a brewery, a dépanneur focuses on local products and a coffee roaster. The early phases of Angus in the 1980s and 90s were planned with a suburban mindset but the Écoquartier section is making up for that.
Louvain also looks interesting and has the same potential to really scale up the surrounding part of Ahuntsic. There’s a thread about it on Agora:
