Known since 1961 as the headquarters of the famous magazine Reader’s Digest, the 215 Redfern , located at the heart of the city of Westmount, showcased most recently the construction of 62 modern condominium units with a luxurious indoor pool and a gym on six floors and a roof terrace with city views – a project valued approximately $32 Millions.The transformation of the old standard concrete building on four floors of a luxurious and prestigious building with huge curtain walls, granite siding extending over 40% of the outer surface and an indoor pool on the 6th floor, the former Reader’s Digest reborn with a contemporary look and completely different use and purpose. With its high ceilings, swinging windows and an unique sound insulation, the 215 Redfern is the result of luxury, comfort and modernity.The complex excavation works in the existing building gave life to a parking garage on two levels in the basement to accommodate the new residents of the building.The stripping works of the old offices and addition of two upper floors have led to the creation of new spacious condominiums and more common spaces to meet the residents needs, including a gym, an indoor pool and a rooftop terrace.The professionals who prepared the plans and specifications for this project are Karl Fischer Architect, Les Conseillers BCA Consultants (structure) and Blondin Fortin and Associates (electrical and mechanical).
