Quotes

"We are pleased to partner with the Fonds immobilier de solidarité FTQ for the HUMA II project and to continue pooling our respective real estate expertise. Based on the success of phase I, we're sure HUMA II will be fully rented in no time given its prime location next to Carrefour Saint-Romuald.

Derek Tardif,

President, Edifia Groupe Immobilier

"We're excited to launch this project with Edifia Groupe Immobilier. HUMA II is strategically located near the Québec City bridges and many neighbourhood services. This project is not only creating 250 jobs, it will benefit the local economy."

"We're proud to partner with the Fonds immobilier and Edifia on this project, which will help diversify our real estate portfolio in the greater Québec City area. With a 3.5%1 increase, the city of Lévis experienced solid population growth between 2016 and 2021, boding well for rentals and leading us to believe that there are other good real estate development opportunities in the region."
