YOU HAVE QUESTIONS,
WE HAVE ANSWERS

Royalmount is a sustainable world-class masterplanned transit-oriented development (TOD).

It always included residential at its core.

A zoning change is still required by the Town of Mount-Royal. Below are the most frequently asked questions along with updated answers.

1. GARDEN CITY 2.0

+

Town of Mount-Royal is a recognized master planned "Garden City". With a focus on green space and connectivity, ROYALMOUNT extends TMR's Garden City heritage.

Common development pillars:

  • Integrated Live, work, play
  • Integrated rail/metro infrastructure
  • Extensive green spaces
  • Pedestrian first development
  • Safety and well-being
  • Community services and varied amenities

2. COMMUNITY SERVICES

+

Royalmount is committed to creating meaningful spaces where the community thrives.

What to expect:

  • Schools - Although we have no say or control over the building of a school…that's the school board's decision…it is included in our Masterplan should they desire.
  • Green Spaces, Art, Skating rink
  • Community center
  • Varied amenities

3. TRAFFIC

+

We took our responsibilities seriously. We made major investments in and around Royalmount to fix traffic issues that have plagued the area for decades. The results are impressive – drastic reduction of traffic in and around our site.

How we fixed it:

  • At our cost, designed and installed a heated sky bridge connecting not only ROYALMOUNT but the TMR Design District to the metro
  • At our cost, including the contribution of land, reconfigured Cote De Liesse adding 3 new lanes of circulation and doubling the capacity to 40 West.
  • Optimized traffic lights

4. FLOODING

+

Much of TMR has experienced flooding issues for many years because during heavy rains the existing sewer capacity is insufficient.

In our first phase of development, ROYALMOUNT installed retention basins equivalent to 6 Olympic swimming pools. During a torrential storm these basins hold back the water, resulting in increased network capacity and reduced flooding for you & our neighbors.

With ROYALMOUNT's new residential development we will continue to alleviate the burden on the city's infrastructure by adding water retention basins equivalent to 20 Olympic pools… yes it is all the same infrastructure!

5. TAXES

+

Municipalities like the Town of Mount Royal generate the vast majority of their revenue from real estate taxes.

The cost of maintaining a city grows continually, so municipalities that do not grow must increase the financial burden on their existing residents.

ROYALMOUNT's residential development offers a better path forward. If we simply look over the next 15 years, mixed use residential is expected to generate an annual tax surplus of approximately $10 million per year—helping improve public services and enhance quality of life, for all.

6. INDUSTRIAL SECTOR

+

The industrial area surrounding ROYALMOUNT has supported businesses for over 50 years but now requires modernization to meet today's needs.

To lead this renewal, the Town of Mount Royal established the Royalmount Design District in 2007. While deemed a success, a significant portion of the land remains vacant and underused to this day.

Introducing residential development would serve as a catalyst for revitalization, bringing new energy, activity, and long-term prosperity to the area.

True industrial does not work on this land. Mixed use development slowly, unlocks the Design Districts economic value

RESIDENCES FOR ALL THE RIGHT REASONS.
