It is nicknamed the "new Plateau", and yes, it is indeed the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve sector we are talking about. More and more people want to escape the sky-high prices of the Plateau Mont-Royal and come to find a small oasis of calm in the heart of this emerging sector. In recent years, we have often heard that this neighborhood, one of the poorest in the city, was in the midst of a revitalization process. Today, we can say that HoMa is no longer the same!
The trendy residents of Lofts Saint-Raphaël could call their neighborhood HoMa, a nickname directly inspired by New York abbreviations like SoHo or TriBeCa. Nevertheless, these lofts are different from the other projects that surround them. Stéphane Robert, architect and developer of the project, explains.
"These lofts are typical soft lofts units, meaning that, unlike industrial-type lofts, they don't have concrete ceilings and exposed pipes. Instead, the focus is on modern design, where the dark stained solid maple cabinets contrast with the stainless steel sinks while matching the hardwood floors. The zen-like atmosphere is also enhanced by the gas fireplaces, 9-foot ceilings and extensive fenestration."
In some units, complete with a mezzanine, ceilings can be as high as 17 feet and industrially cut windows can take up an entire wall. Partitions and doors are almost non-existent and each owner, in addition to his or her own balcony, or private terrace for some, will be able to enjoy the common area on the roof with its 360° view of downtown.
With sizes up to 1000 sq ft, the Saint-Raphael Lofts remain chic and affordable. These lofts are in fact reminiscent of some of the luxury complexes in the Old Port, but given their location they remain in a very reasonable price range.
Stéphane Robert believes in this project and he is right, "People who buy are people who believe in this neighborhood, in its revitalization. That's why we designed this project, because we believe in the neighborhood!
