Discover the benefits of living near the REM!
As we all know, living in the suburbs means being stuck in traffic and wasting time in your car, at least for workers who drive to downtown Montreal daily. With the REM’s arrival, this reality will change significantly: Residents of Greater Montreal will benefit from a new mode of transportation that is both fast and efficient. Here are the key benefits of choosing a condo in proximity to an REM station.
Get to downtown Montreal in less than 25 minutes!
Investing in a condo at Baldwin Condos & Penthouses gives you extremely easy access to the REM network connecting the Central Station to Deux-Montagnes. The Sunnybrooke Station, set to be commissioned in 2024, will provide the sector’s residents with a new way of travelling. For example, getting to the heart of Montreal will take less than 25 minutes!
Access all of Greater Montreal
With its 67 km of confirmed distance, the Réseau express métropolitain will almost double the current 71 km-long metro network, enabling you to travel 138 km across Greater Montreal. Thus, you can travel from Dollard-des-Ormeaux to downtown, but also to the Université de Montréal and McGill University, Griffintown, Brossard, Kirkland, the Montreal airport and more. You can view the REM’s full plan here.
Reliable transportation in every season
It is a known fact that driving in the winter can be very difficult. By living near the REM, you can say goodbye to all the inconveniences of the cold season – having to remove snow, traffic jams due to bad weather and risks of accidents. While part of the REM’s structure is elevated, the implemented technologies were designed to run smoothly even in Quebec’s harsh winter conditions. Dedicated field teams with specialized equipment will perform track maintenance during the winter, and the REM’s high frequency (varying from 2.5 to 15 minutes) will prevent ice and snow from accumulating. Helsinki, Finland’s capital, has a similar transportation system!
A profitable real estate investment for the future
Investing in a condo near the REM, like at Baldwin Condos & Penthouses, ensures your investment will be profitable in the short, medium, and long term. Experts predict that the REM will significantly increase the real estate value in the sectors located near the stations.
A recent article published in La Presse mentioned that the “REM’s impact on the travel time to downtown is not yet reflected in condo prices in most markets… The highest discounts are found around the future Du Ruisseau, Sunnybrooke, Pierrefonds-Roxboro, Kirkland, Deux-Montagnes, Grand-Moulin, and Brossard stations.” Thus, owners will benefit from an added value of up to $112,000 in the coming years.
The following table from the article demonstrates the potential added value for properties located near an REM station.
