Nearby, many transportation options make getting from one place to another simple while promoting active transportation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the NOVIA team cares about our planet, parking spaces will be limited, reducing the environmental impact associated with them\u2014such 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\u2014a great way to reduce the distance travelled by vehicles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/emplacement.svg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:auto;height:150px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Location<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>NOVIA\u2019s 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\u2013Universit\u00e9-de-Sherbrooke metro and various bus stops, access to public transit is simple and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NOVIA is located in a neighbourhood where everything is within walking distance\u2014grocery stores, pharmacies, retail stores, schools, restaurants, parks and other amenities\u2014allowing residents to do their shopping on foot rather than by car.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/alimentation.svg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:auto;height:150px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Food<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We care deeply about life and about people.
