Hundreds of properties change hands in Quebec every day, most of them without being able to know the end of details. It was before we were interested … Here is the last transaction that caught our attention.

A penthouse perched at the top of the twin towers of the Roccabella, in downtown Montreal, has just been sold for $ 4.5 million, a record of the year for a Montreal condominium.

Located at 1310 boulevard René-Lévesque Ouest, the unit of 2427 pi² Includes a dozen rooms, including three bedrooms, four bathrooms and bathroom, a large private terrace, and above all, a breathtaking view of the mountain of Mont Royal and the entire west of the city center.

The condo also has a home automation system, an ethanol home, three interior storage spaces and two private underground parking spaces, a rarity in downtown Montreal.

This property was acquired in November 2021 by the couple formed by Maria Lorenzo and Étienne Veilleux for the sum of $ 3,625,000. The latter drew attention in 2015 by managing to sell American Acuity Brands his company, distech controls, specializing in energy management, for the tidy sum of $ 318 million.

Having become an advisor to Novacap afterwards, Étienne Veilleux is now on LinkedIn as an investor, co -founder and president of the Sofistic.ai council, a digital platform intended to support the wealth management advisers.
