We care deeply about life and about people. That’s why your comfort, your enjoyment of life, and the planet are at the heart of everything we do.
The NOVIA complex is highly energy‑efficient and designed to reduce heat islands through green roof installations. Efficient waste and water management allows for large‑scale resource savings. And because your well‑being is our priority, every unit features generous windows that provide abundant natural light.
To create a complex designed for you, yet thoughtfully planned for tomorrow, we chose partners who share our values and our attention to detail.
NOVIA is the result: an inspiring, welcoming, responsible, and human‑centered living environment.
NOVIA: an eco‑conscious lifestyle in a rental building
At NOVIA, everything is designed to ensure the health and well‑being of our residents. To serve as an inspiring model, we went beyond industry standards.
With a multidisciplinary team of specialists, we built a high‑performance, durable, and high‑quality building — a place where life feels good.
At NOVIA, we give you more than meets the eye — we give you more life.
Because we aim to be a benchmark in energy performance and sustainable development, special attention was given to the durability and eco‑responsibility of our rental complex.
Our location favoring active transportation, our eco‑responsible approach, and the quality of life we offer are just some of the ways we reduce our environmental footprint.

Green spaces
Urban gardens and NOVIA’s wooded areas offer a refreshing connection to nature in the city. They not only provide the benefits of greenery but also naturally reduce indoor heat by absorbing solar radiation. Take care of yourself — and the planet.
Proximity living
Discover how proximity living at NOVIA supports green transportation and aligns daily life with Québec’s 2035 ecological goals. Comfort, sustainability, and mobility — all in one place.
Air
NOVIA ensures superior indoor air quality through a high‑performance ventilation system and an ultra‑airtight building envelope that prevents pollutant infiltration.
Energy
NOVIA’s energy efficiency exceeds the National Energy Code for Buildings (NECB) requirements by 18%. Superior insulation, thermal bridge control, high‑performance windows, and an energy‑loop heating system all contribute to this achievement.
Light
NOVIA’s lighting design was developed by professionals to maximize visual comfort and create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Generous windows in every room allow abundant natural daylight, while lighting levels in common areas are calibrated to minimize impacts on circadian rhythms.
Sound
Acoustic professionals were actively involved in NOVIA’s design. Their technical specifications ensure optimal acoustic comfort throughout the building. Both open and enclosed spaces, quiet zones, and corridors are effectively soundproofed, and floors are equipped with acoustic membranes to reduce noise transfer between levels.
Community
Wanting to offer a building that is accessible to all, the NOVIA team respected universal design through every construction phase. The multi-purpose building creates an environment where tenants, neighbours, workers and restaurant owners feel welcomed. Open outdoor spaces such as terraces and a multitude of common areas promote human connections, every day.
Exercise
Physical activity is a priority at NOVIA. A fitness room and a pool, with access to showers and a changing room, are available for all tenants. In the surroundings, accessible bike paths and sidewalks are perfect for morning jogging, late-afternoon walks and weekend bike rides. In the basement, bicycle storage facilities are offered to occupants.
Water efficiency
NOVIA was designed to reduce drinking-water consumption to preserve this precious resource. To achieve this goal, the building’s plumbing fixtures, such as the toilet and faucets, are WaterSense certified, making water consumption more efficient.
Healthy lifestyle
Inspired by nature, the furnished roof terraces and inner yard boast zen vibes. NOVIA also offers spaces such as a swimming pool, a yoga room and a lounge where you can relax and unwind.
Transportation
NOVIA is located in a TOD space (a place focused on public transport). Nearby, many transportation options make getting from one place to another simple while promoting active transportation.
Once the construction is completed, the underground parking lot will contain a total of 90 charging stations for electric vehicles. This way, NOVIA encourages alternatives to conventional fuel cars, promoting reduced pollution. We even make an electric car available for tenants
Because the NOVIA team cares about our planet, parking spaces will be limited, reducing the environmental impact associated with them—such as land consumption, rainwater runoff and automobile dependency. The underground multi-storey parking considerably minimizes heat islands while bike storage facilities promote using a bicycle instead of a car—a great way to reduce the distance travelled by vehicles.
Location
NOVIA’s prime location, close to many means of public transportation, limits the distance travelled by vehicles. Because NOVIA is a few steps away from the Longueuil–Université-de-Sherbrooke metro and various bus stops, access to public transit is simple and efficient.
NOVIA is located in a neighbourhood where everything is within walking distance—grocery stores, pharmacies, retail stores, schools, restaurants, parks and other amenities—allowing residents to do their shopping on foot rather than by car.
At NOVIA, residents enjoy stunning scenery and can connect with nature at a whole new level. Many terraces offer a spectacular view of the river, downtown Montreal and the Monteregian Hills.
Food
Tenants and neighbours can indulge in a tasty meal at the restaurant located in the NOVIA building. The complex is also a stroll away from grocery stores and restaurants. Garden beds, located on the terraces of the 8th floor, allow occupants to grow their own herbs and vegetables.
