Reviews of VillaNova (Real Estate Agency)

L G

Extremely happy with our purchase of our new home in East Lachine, a great area of Montreal where redevelopment is only getting started! This neighbourhood has access to our favourite green spaces, extensive paths for sport and leisure, local eateries and restaurants that warm the soul, without forgetting the very practical easy access to downtown Montreal, the South Shore and the West Island. We applaud the resolve that the promoters and builders have shown since the beginning of the project. The project is well underway now, but only after many unforeseeable obstacles at the project’s start. And unfortunately, by reading through reviews left by some Google users, it can be revealed that the challenges of running a million dollar development project cannot be grasped by some. In the end, the many thousand new residential units and commercial spaces in this extremely well located area of Montreal, a tech, financial, social and cultural hub for the World as well as one of Canada’s leading metropolitan cities can undoubtedly have many positives namely to grow and symbiotically contribute further to the city’s development. Local government is also working hard with the promoter and builders with an equally valid vision for the area. VillaNova, a place within Montreal well worth looking into if you can and want to be a part of the city’s future.

Absolutely embarrassing. They don’t update us on the construction. I pass by there everyday because I live in that area and no progress at all. This is not looking good at all.

After visiting the sales office, I was very disappointed. VillaNova townhouses are 200K more expensive than comparable Miss Brown townhouses just a few blocks north of the Villanova site. For what? And that is not to mention the construction site that will be VillaNova for the next 10 years.. Enjoy if you are planning on buying in phase 1.. Also, there might be some nice street layout within the site but there is a very limited roadway leading out of that area, so traffic in the morning after 42000 people move in (official estimated number) will be catastrophic. Also, I am assuming a lot of those new inhabitants will be young families, 4000 new units and no new elementary and high school? That will be interesting. Anyways, my point is that what Lachine needed were affordable single family houses and townhouses in the 350-550k range. Yet, the starting price for townhouses is 558k + tax and going up quickly with options left and right. A lot of condos are already available all over the borough and many are having a hard time to sell already. Many young couples in condos are struggling to find affordable houses or townhouses therefore staying in their condos or moving out of the borough. This creates an overwhelming amount of supply in the area with a lot of people attempting to sell or waiting on the sidelines. More condos in VillaNova won't solve the situation (need for single family housing) in the area at all. I am saying that while fully understanding that condos are much more profitable for promoters due to the fact that they are building and selling vertically on the same allotted land. Best of luck to the promoters but Lachine Est isn't an area where I would spend 600-700k on a townhouse when there are better options at that price point elsewhere. The lack is in the 350-500k range in my opinion. My 2 cents. Update July 2018: Revisited VillaNova recently; literally everything I mentioned above is still very much accurate. Prices are senseless, construction will be constant for 10+years, traffic will be hell with the borough of Lachine not planning well for a 4000+ housing development, etc. MUCH MUCH better options elsewhere. I'm afraid the people leaving 4-5 stars reviews are being WOWed by the developper's beautiful presentation without thinking much further about their future day to day lives and value of their money towards that potential purchase.

From what I’m hearing, the contractors are not willing to finish the project. They are going bankrupt. Nina don’t update us on anything. She’s hiding in her bunker.

I am interested buyer. I cannot get a hold of Nina. I think they are having issues. I sent 2 emails already plus 2 phone calls. No response.

He’s not finished to construction but I’m sure could be good new area and condos

OMG I passed by 2 years later to see how this construction was going and Villa Nova didn’t even start building!!!!!! I went two years ago to inquire about this project and it was way too expensive and literally the street behind you was old homes with a street that was rotting! I would never moved here and that’s why I didn’t :) sooo happy because the project was pricy, pushy sales people and full of lies. Bought a high end project called Viva condos laval

Very exciting project, need to see it construction started.

Manu Ella

(Translated) Beautiful project of house bunk / duplex condo but unfortunately what is sold is different from what is mentioned in brochure or on the internet. First of all the phase currently on sale is far from the Lachine Canal, the beautiful modern exterior and interior renderings of the units do not represent the final design of the project (obviously less well) and inclusions or choice of materials promised verbally differ from those mentioned in the sales contract. We asked for the exact inclusions from the promoter, but this one is too busy to answer us, we canceled our reservation. (Original) Beau projet de maison superposées / condo duplex mais malheureusement ce qui est vendu est différent de ce qui est mentionné en brochure ou sur internet. Tout d’abord la phase actuellement en vente est loin du canal Lachine, les beaux rendus moderne extérieurs et intérieurs des unités ne représente pas le design final du projet (évidement en moins bien) et les inclusions ou choix des matériaux promis verbalement diffèrent de ceux mentionnés au contrat de vente. Nous avons donc demandé les inclusions exactes au promoteur, mais celui-ci est trop occupé pour nous répondre, nous avons annulé notre réservation.

Very convenient location: steps to train station and canal and easy access to highway, airport. Beautiful sightseeing nearby.

(Translated) There is a beautiful tall blonde girl who works in the sales office and unfortunately I felt my visit bothered her with no questions about my needs other than townhouses. (Original) Il y a une belle fille blonde de grande taille qui travaille dans le bureau des ventes et malheureusement je sentais que ma visite la dérangeais aucun questionnements sur mes besoins autres que les maisons de ville.

From what they tried selling me on to what they actually delivered, big discrepancy. Poor quality of materials and craftsmanship from someone I know that moves there and they themselves are not happy at all. Not to mention, the location needs some major work. A project that will take 20-25 years to clean up Lachine.

(Translated) Here we go! Phase 1 is almost complete. Phase 2 and 3 are in motion. (Original) Et c'est parti! Phase 1 est presque completee. Phase 2 et 3 sont en branle.

Haig Terzian

Overpriced for a phase 1 project. A lot of promises for future growth are made. Will it happen?

Ray Mtl

Huge project in a very industrial area. Will be difficult for those purchasing in phase 1 to be surrounded by an active construction site! Will be a traffic nightmare once all phases are completed. P.S. Sailboats cannot sail on Lachine canal, so maybe insert some powerboats instead to keep it real!

Amazing project but very pricy, you can buy a house instead in West Lachine for less money, more land and better location. As others have mentioned you are investing in a promise to deliver an eco village inside a wasteland. I am hoping they succeed since it will gentrify the area and vastly improve the infrastructures. Quality material but way overpriced for that area.

Sam S

Great project. Highly recommend buying here.
