With Florence Condos, Mondev signs the final phase of a human-scale residential complex, located at 2270 Florian Street, Montreal (H2K 2P5), between Frontenac and Préfontaine metro stations. A condominium project designed for buyers who prioritize functionality, proximity to services, and competitive value. Occupancy: summer 2026.

Mondev, an established developer

Founded in 1993 by David Owen, Mondev has risen among the active developers of the metropolis, with a diversified portfolio and thousands of units delivered. The company has multiplied projects in central and eastern neighborhoods of the island, focusing on well-served sites and contemporary buildings. Two recent projects received a Canadian Property Award 2023–2024: Milhaus, a mixed-use development in three phases in Outremont, and GriffinSquare, a mixed-use development in two phases in the Southwest. "We want to deliver sustainable and accessible urban spaces, without compromising on construction quality," summarizes Jordan Owen, partner at Mondev.

A well-connected site, east of Ville-Marie

The Florence Condos project is located east of the Ville-Marie borough, within cycling distance of the Village, La Fontaine Park and not far from Olympic Stadium. Sherbrooke Street and Route 136 are easily accessible. The area has local businesses and the Ontario Promenade a few minutes away, with its cafés, restaurants and several renowned theaters. An IGA is located about five blocks away according to the developer. All in an urban setting where you can do the essentials on foot, by bike or by metro.

Real estate program and timeline

Florence Condos totals 104 condominium units spread across 13 four-story buildings, eight condos per building. The first two phases are delivered and inhabited; the final phase is under construction for occupancy in summer 2026. About 70 units are already sold/occupied; about thirty units from the last phase are coming to market.

The complex favors a neighborhood scale: no elevator, exterior stairs, balcony for each unit overlooking the interior courtyard, and, for 3rd floor units, a private staircase leading to a rooftop terrace. Green spaces are concentrated on the ground, at the heart of the block; there is no pool or closed common areas. For parking, the project has 26 exterior spaces.

Architecture, structure and materials

The architectural approach, designed by 2 Architectes, combines clay brick and metal cladding, in a simple volumetry that fits into the residential fabric. The structure is wood, with engineered hardwood floors and an assembly aimed at acoustic comfort: membranes, plywood, resilient furring and double fire-rated gypsum between units.

Hybrid fenestration and thermo-glass patio doors favor light intake; ceilings of about 9 ft accentuate the sense of space. Railings are aluminum and glass.

Inside, the finish palette is designed to be durable:

  • Engineered hardwood floors in living areas;
  • Melamine kitchens, quartz countertops, stainless steel hood, undermount sink;
  • Bathrooms with ceramic, melamine vanity, quartz countertop, shower with ceramic walls and acrylic base or bath/shower according to plan;
  • Off-white paint

For mechanical systems and comfort: electric heating, included mono-split air conditioning, air exchanger, hot water tank. Intercom system for access control. The developer indicates no sprinkler or generator; the buyer should validate the security elements applicable to the code with the sales office and final technical documents.

Appliances not included.

Plans, areas and usage

Floor plans focus on short circulation, ergonomic kitchens and well-proportioned rooms. The typologies offered: 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms. Indicative areas:

  • 1 bedroom: ~600 sq ft
  • 2 bedrooms: ~800 sq ft
  • 3 bedrooms: ~1,000 to 1,260 sq ft

All units are on one level (except access to the private terrace for some 3rd floor units). No lockers provided.

Prices, deposits and fees

For current prices, visit the project page on guidehabitation.ca.

Deposit structure: 5% at reservation, then 5% at finish selection (10% total).
Closing costs: notary fees (also plan for usual adjustments).
Taxes: in addition to advertised price.

On investment, Jordan Owen clarifies: "It's a good investment to live in. The prices are reasonable, the product is quality. I don't push for speculators who want to resell higher quickly."

Condominium regulations and management

Condominium fees are approximately between $250 and $500/month (depending on unit). The condominium syndicate will establish the reserve fund and final regulations upon delivery. At this stage:

  • Short-term rental (Airbnb): prohibited;
  • Other rentals: permitted according to syndicate rules;
  • Animals: pets are allowed;
  • GCR warranty (new residential building warranty plan) applicable; details to be validated in contractual documentation.

Mobility, services and daily life

The site benefits from multimodal mobility:

  • Metro: Frontenac and Préfontaine nearby;
  • Bus and bike paths accessible in the neighborhood;
  • Sherbrooke and Route 136 for car travel.

Daily life is easily managed nearby: grocery stores (including an IGA at ~5 blocks), pharmacies, schools, daycares, restaurants and cafés along the Ontario Promenade. Large parks (e.g., La Fontaine) and cultural and sports centers to the east (e.g., Olympic Stadium area) are a short distance away.

For whom?

The clientele consists mainly of young professionals and young families looking for a new condo, well-served, with private outdoor space (balcony or terrace). However, the absence of elevators and stair configuration make the project less suitable for people with reduced mobility. For those who want to own a new pied-à-terre in a renewal area, Florence Condos offers a sober, functional and clear proposition.

Key takeaways

Florence Condos stands out for its controlled scale, robust finishes (engineered wood, quartz, brick), private outdoor spaces and competitive pricing given the location and execution quality. The project targets residential use above all: "Yes, it's a good investment if you buy to live there," reminds Jordan Owen. The final phase offers a last window to access this sector of Ville-Marie.
