Research has shown that living in a mixed-use community, close to stores and services, increases walking and bicycling, promotes healthy lifestyles, and helps develop a strong sense of community among residents. As a community seeking LEED ND certification, Pointe-Nord will offer:
- Residential and commercial facilities.
- A community designed to be pedestrian-friendly and walkable.
- Access to the "Route Verte" bicycle path network and waterfront paths, people can use to get around the neighbourhood and access nearby services.
- Public amenities including restaurants, libraries, schools, pools, a tennis club, a golf course and more - all located nearby on Nuns' Island.
- Underground parking throughout the site, to reduce the amount of exposed asphalt and make the environment more pleasing to the eye and better for your health.
