Installation of prefabricated building modules marks a major construction milestone for an 82-unit affordable housing development in Dorval, Quebec. The four-storey project will provide subsidized rental homes for independent adults aged 55 and older, with completion targeted for spring 2027.
The installation of prefabricated modules marks a significant step in bringing the Îles Courcelles development to completion. Magil and Tisseur are coordinating off-site manufacturing with on-site construction, with Bonneville supporting the modular building component.
The delivery process involves planning and coordination across design, transportation, lifting and assembly. This approach combines factory-produced building modules with site-based construction activities.
The four-storey building will provide housing for independent adults aged 55 and older. Shared spaces are planned to encourage social interaction among residents, while a landscaped courtyard will provide outdoor gathering space.
The development will also include underground parking with sustainable mobility features. Its location offers access to nearby retail businesses, health services, recreational facilities and public transit.
The project is being delivered for OMHM in collaboration with the City of Dorval.
The Îles Courcelles development demonstrates the use of modular construction in affordable housing projects. Combining off-site manufacturing with on-site work can help coordinate multiple construction activities and advance project delivery.
With 82 subsidized rental units planned, the development will add housing options for older adults in Dorval. Completion is targeted for spring 2027.
