Condos, lofts and penthouses from 745 to 3,120 square feet with magnificent city and water views. REINVIGORATED by wind and water, enjoy an urban lifestyle inspired by the Spanish sea breeze known as the SOLANO.

The first thing you notice is the quality of the light. Larger-than-usual solid wood entry doors open into a space where huge, eight-foot windows comprise 40 percent of the façade. Your eye is drawn to the views: Mount Royal, downtown Montreal, the Old Port, the SOLANO's inner garden, Old Montreal with its architectural beauty, the St. Lawrence River and its islands, and the Jacques-Cartier Bridge. Nine- to ten-foot ceilings enhance the feeling of light and space, while some units encompass two floors for true design versatility. All townhouses have private terraces, and penthouses and many upper-level units offer terraces overlooking the garden.

The SOLANO will be built in two blocks, each with two construction/selling phases. Two-floor units are available, and outstanding design flexibility makes it possible to combine units horizontally, so you can create the home you really want, large or small.

Melding the best of European and American style, the SOLANO is a worthy addition to the architectural diversity of Old Montreal. Care, craftsmanship and quality are apparent in both design and materials. St-Marc limestone, zinc and anthracite-coloured brick reflect the surrounding history and heritage. The structure's unique shape – in the form of an island – and landscaped inner garden courtyard pay homage to its natural surroundings. Its overall height ranges from 4 to 14 storeys, making the SOLANO stand out from the crowd and facilitating a plethora of breathtaking viewpoints on the outside world. Glass and steel gleam from the balconies and patios for a clean, modern effect. Huge windows framed in charcoal-coloured aluminum allow natural light to pour in and offer outstanding city, garden and river vistas.

The inner garden courtyard is designed for a quiet walk or simple relaxation. Multiple levels are beautifully landscaped with plants and shrubs, providing intimate spots to commune with nature – or each other. A rock pool with a fountain delights eye and ear, reflecting the sky, refreshing the spirit. A tranquil, Zen-like feeling pervades the space... and all those who inhabit it.

Superior quality is evident in every detail of interior fit and finish. Independent ventilation and air purification systems are controlled within each unit, keeping indoor air fresh and healthy. Above-standard soundproofing ensures peace and privacy.

Natural wood and modern ceramics are masterfully used throughout, for a level of quality you can feel. Choose an enclosed kitchen (European) or open plan (American) design with marble countertops and cabinets built from high-grade materials imported from Italy. Luxurious bathrooms are outfitted in refined Bianco Carrera marble. Unlike many projects, at the SOLANO you can customize your layout, and even combine units on the same floor to expand a loft or condo. Indoor parking is also available.

Marble, mirrors and Mies van der Rohe furniture: the SOLANO's common areas are far from common. From the moment the eye catches the white Calacatta marble of the lobby, a sense of light and space surrounds you. Glass mosaic columns extend from the lobby seamlessly through to the indoor pool (38'x14'), swimming in natural light. Mosaic also reflects from the pool floor, creating a feeling of the infinite. A fitness centre complete with washrooms and showers is there for your enjoyment. Have a good workout, then lounge in comfort on the patio – you've earned it.

The SOLANO resides on a site historically known as the Faubourg Québec, which marked the beginning of the Chemin du Roy leading from Montreal to Quebec City centuries ago. The result? Modern living that respects its elders. From this exceptional riverside residential setting, you can follow walking and bike paths to picnic areas, Old Montreal's many summer festivities and your choice of green spaces – including two new parks being built in the area. In winter there's skating, the Fête des Neiges – and cosy evenings at home. During the boating season, take the ferry to Parc Jean-Drapeau or the South Shore. A new marina close by, visible from south-facing units, will soon give even greater access to the pleasures of the river.

LIFE ON THE RIVER gives you peace and tranquility, yet all the excitement and activity of Old Montreal and the Old Port are just a short stroll away. Refresh your energy in your own space by the water, then nourish your soul out in your community. The old city has a vitality and a pulse of its own – artistic, eclectic, creative. Surprising nooks and interesting shops are around every corner, just waiting to be discovered.

BREEZE IN AND OUT of downtown or get right out of town without fighting calèche traffic! The SOLANO's location is insulated, not isolated, with easy access to major streets and expressways, as well as to essential services such as the new CHUM. Living right on the water opens up another possibility: the river as playground, as highway, as escape route...
