OCartier 2 is a rental project of 200 units located at 30 St-Hubert Street, in Laval, in the Cartier sector, directly across from Cartier metro station on the orange line. Developed by TDR Développements Inc., the 10-story above-ground building offers an all-inclusive formula in a high-end finish building, with a 12,000 square foot commercial component on the ground floor. Occupancy begins July 1, 2026.

The Real Estate Project

OCartier 2 has 200 rental units spread over 10 above-ground floors, with areas ranging from approximately 400 to 1,300 square feet depending on the type — from studio to 5½. In the vast majority of units, ceilings reach 9 feet, which contributes to the sense of space. The minimum lease is one year.

The building is a continuation of OCartier 1 — inaugurated in 2017, 150 units on 16 floors — and constitutes the second phase of a growing development. OCartier 3 is already being studied on a 20,000 square foot lot adjacent to the current project, in line with the planned extension of Labelle Street. Construction of OCartier 2 is nearing completion and the first occupancies begin July 1, 2026.

Furthermore, the ground floor accommodates approximately 12,000 square feet of commercial space, clearly distinct from residential common areas. The envisioned uses — café, clinic, pharmacy, financial institution and offices — form an integrated local service offering within the building itself.

Detailed Location

The project is located in the heart of the Cartier sector, between Laval-des-Rapides and Pont-Viau, a stone's throw from Viau bridge and bordering the Rivière des Prairies. What immediately stands out is the geographical location of the site: OCartier 2 is located directly across from Ahuntsic, the Montreal neighborhood that runs along the south shore of the river. Danio De Risi, Eng., co-owner of TDR Développements, sums it up simply: "Many people hesitate to move to Laval because they feel like they're moving away. But here, we're right across from Ahuntsic, on the river's edge. Residents really feel like they're in the continuity of the city."

Beyond geography, the Cartier sector benefits from notable institutional momentum. It is the subject of a Special Planning Program (PPU) adopted by the City of Laval, which is part of the strategic vision Laval 2035: urban by nature. Designated as a TOD sector — Transit Oriented Development — it attracts substantial public investments focused on density, mixed uses and active mobility. In April 2026, the City announced underground infrastructure upgrades totaling $20M, including an $8M federal contribution through the Building Stronger Communities Fund. These works, which will continue until 2028, will pave the way for some 1,800 new housing units in the sector, according to an article by journalist Stéphane St-Amour published in Le Courrier de Laval in April 2026.

In terms of services, Bernard-Landry Park, Parc des Prairies and the Laval Nature Centre are among the green spaces accessible nearby. Several shops are located within a 1 km radius, and Cégep Montmorency is accessible in two metro stations.

Developer Presentation

TDR Développements Inc. was founded in 2006 by engineer Tony De Risi — with 40 years of experience in building structure — and his son Danio De Risi, Eng., who now heads sales and development. Since its founding, the company has completed successive projects: Solario, Bella Vista, Via Dante, OCartier 1 and now OCartier 2, for a total of 700 units completed, under construction or in development. This trajectory has been recognized by the industry: OCartier 1 was a finalist in the Urban Residential Complex category at the APECQ Prestige 1897 Competition, 2019 edition.

The structural engineering expertise at the origin of the developer is directly reflected in construction choices — reinforced concrete, high-quality imported materials, sustained attention to technical details. "We build high-end condos — condos that we would normally sell — and we offer them for rent," explains Danio De Risi. "The majority of rental projects offer standard apartments with basic finishes. We offer finishes worthy of condos for sale."

Architecture and Materials

The architecture of OCartier 2 bears the signatures of Marco Manini Architect and Lupien et Matteau, who also signs the interior design. Externally, the building adopts a contemporary style animated by large panoramic aluminum windows, which maximize natural light and offer unobstructed views of Laval, Montreal and the Rivière des Prairies. Each unit also has a private balcony.

Inside, the finishes clearly break with the rental standard. The interior doors come from Italy, as do the thermoformed kitchens whose panels are manufactured in Germany. The countertops and backsplash are in one-piece quartz — no ceramic, no joints to clean — while the floors combine ceramic and high-quality vinyl with a wood appearance. To avoid the visual uniformity of large buildings, three distinct color palettes allow variation in finishes from one unit to another.

On the mechanical side, the building relies on reliability: heat pump and electric baseboard heating, central air conditioning, air exchanger in each unit, hot water tank, backup generator and sprinklers with fire alarms. Added to this is an automated water leak detection system with connected sensors and real-time alerts. In terms of energy, the developer aims for performance 26% higher than a standard building of the same size. Finally, security relies on a 24-hour surveillance camera system, card access to common areas and a concierge service planned for certain hours (to be confirmed).

The All-Inclusive Formula

This is the central argument of the project and what most clearly distinguishes it from the competition. Concretely, the rent covers all electricity consumption — heating, air conditioning, hot water — as well as high-speed fiber optic Internet. The included appliances go well beyond the usual rental standard: induction and convection stove, built-in refrigerator at the same depth as the countertops, washer and dryer. Translucent curtains dress the living room; blackout curtains, the bedrooms. Everything is pre-installed upon the tenant's arrival — nothing to order, nothing to install. (No condo fees or reserve fund contribution apply, as this is a rental project.)

Common Areas

The common areas go far beyond what is usually found in rental projects. From the entrance, the refined and well-furnished lobby sets the tone. Two high-speed elevators serve the residential part; a third, separate elevator is reserved for the commercial component. Further on, a fully equipped gym — well beyond the treadmill and stationary bike required elsewhere — adjoins an independent studio dedicated to spinning, yoga and meditation, with seven spinning bikes and a boxing area. For those who work remotely, a furnished and quiet coworking space offers an alternative to the apartment. The shared terrace on the 4th floor, with a view of the Rivière des Prairies, completes the ensemble. There is also an interior courtyard on the ground floor, a space for washing pets, a space for washing vehicles and secure storage for bicycles.

Rental Terms

The rental office is located at 4 Labelle Street, Laval, open by appointment. Floor plans are available online and a model unit can be visited on site. The indoor parking has 240 spaces on three levels, including one level reserved for shops with approximately 75 spaces; additional residential spaces can be rented as an option, subject to availability. Charging stations for electric vehicles are also offered at an additional cost, as well as personal storage lockers. (No car-sharing service is planned on site.)

Mobility and Daily Life

The project's mobility advantage is hard to match in the Laval market. Cartier metro station, on the orange line, is directly across — with an integrated bus terminal — and Henri-Bourassa metro is about a two-minute walk away. The orange line connects the sector to downtown Montreal without transfer, making it one of the most direct connections from Laval. Several bike paths also run through the sector. De Risi makes it his number one selling point: "I always come back to the metro, but it's because there are very few projects that can boast of having the metro right across. And not just any line: the orange line, which leads directly to downtown."

Beyond transportation, the Cartier sector concentrates shops, services and green spaces within walking distance. Bernard-Landry Park, Parc des Prairies and the Laval Nature Centre are the main green spaces accessible on foot or by bike. Cégep Montmorency, meanwhile, is only two metro stations away.

Target Clientele

OCartier 2 primarily targets three profiles. First, young professionals who want a quality living environment with quick and direct access to Montreal. Then, retirees who are looking for comfort and tranquility without the constraints of ownership. Finally, families who want to combine Laval quality of life and urban connectivity. In all cases, the all-inclusive formula meets a need for administrative simplicity: a single monthly bill, without managing multiple suppliers. "It's one bill, no surprises," summarizes De Risi.

On the other hand, this project is less suitable for those who want to customize their finishes (three predefined palettes, no modifications possible) or for those looking for a property to buy rather than rent.
