The Equinoxe rental condos have been sold

The Equinoxe apartments on Marc Chagall Avenue in Côte Saint-Luc are now under new ownership. Realstar Properties has been in business for more than 50 years and they operate The Excelsior on  Cavendish Blvd. Thus far I have been unable to get commentary from either side.

The Equinoxe, now known as Les Apartments Marc Chagall.

Construction began on two connected “rental condos”  at the corner of Marc Chagall,  near Mackle in 2017. The land had been rezoned residential 30 years earlier under the administration of the late Bernard Lang, so city council was in no position to stop the project when the Jadco Group and its partners purchased the land.  Work to create the buildings was long and messy and as the city councillor for the area I had to engage in repetitive mediation efforts between the ownership and local residents.

The lobby of the Equinoxe.

Even today, eight years later, I find myself fielding complaints on a fairly regular basis. To his credit, Jadco Real Estate Corporation CEO André Doudak has never avoided any of my calls. He agreed from the get go to help me establish a special committee I established with local condo association reps. In addition, he put in place a number of contacts at the complex whom I could work with. Now Realstar assumes the mantle. I must say that in the 20 years I have been the city councillor for District 2, I’ve barely heard a complaint from anyone living in the Equinoxe. I hope that is a good omen.

The Equinoxe has now been renamed Les Apartments Marc Chagall.  I will follow up when I have more news.

L’Equinoxe a été vendue

Les appartements Equinoxe situés sur l’avenue Marc Chagall à Côte Saint-Luc ont désormais un nouveau propriétaire. Realstar Properties est en activité depuis plus de 50 ans et gère The Excelsior sur le boulevard Cavendish.

La construction de deux « copropriétés locatives » reliées entre elles à l’angle de Marc Chagall, près de Mackle, a commencé en 2017. Le terrain avait été reclassé en zone résidentielle 30 ans plus tôt sous l’administration de feu Bernard Lang, de sorte que le conseil municipal n’était pas en mesure d’arrêter le projet lorsque le groupe Jadco et ses partenaires ont acheté le terrain. Les travaux de construction des immeubles ont été longs et chaotiques et, en tant que conseiller municipal de la région, j’ai dû m’engager dans des efforts de médiation répétitifs entre les propriétaires et les résidents locaux.

Même aujourd’hui, huit ans plus tard, je reçois encore régulièrement des plaintes. Il faut reconnaître qu’André Doudak, PDG de Jadco Real Estate Corporation, n’a jamais évité mes appels. Il a accepté dès le départ de m’aider à mettre en place un comité spécial que j’ai créé avec des représentants de l’association locale des copropriétaires. De plus, il a mis en place un certain nombre de contacts au sein du complexe avec lesquels j’ai pu travailler. Aujourd’hui, Realstar prend le relais. Je dois dire qu’au cours des 20 années où j’ai été conseiller municipal du district 2, je n’ai pratiquement jamais entendu de plaintes de la part des résidents de l’Equinoxe. J’espère que c’est de bon augure.

L’Equinoxe a désormais été rebaptisé Les Appartements Marc Chagall. Je vous tiendrai au courant dès que j’aurai plus d’informations
