An $80 million investment in nature
Having grown organically since 2005, Fraternité-sur-Lac
constitutes an economic hub in the Laurentians, with a longterm total investment of $80 million, including: the layout of the
Club de la Pointe (a 100,000 sq. ft. playground bordering on the
lake and reserved exclusively for residents), a village-inspired
centre, a general store including reception and restaurant
facilities as well as a hiking trail in the forest. On the whole,
the project was imagined as a way to optimize and cultivate the
sense of intimacy between residences and residents.
The Club de la Pointe offers, among other things, access to
Lac Supérieur for swimming, tennis courts, a pool, kayaks,
a pétanque area, a yoga space, a gym and outdoor fireplaces.
Come winter, residents take part in cross-country skiing and
snowshoeing, as well as skating and broomball on an ice rink
set up on the lake. Less than 15 minutes away, residents
reach Mont-Tremblant National Park, one of
Canada’s most prestigious ski centres, as
well as many golf courses.
Unlike the typical approach of conceiving and
marketing real estate projects, Fraternité-sur-Lac
wants to steer clear of simplistic dichotomies between
the urban bustle and peaceful rural life, by reaching out
to a community of buyers who see both of these realities
positively and who seek to balance both harmoniously
instead of pitting one against the other.
