LE THEMIS
10 rue Saint-Jacques
An historic address with all the comforts of today
Montreal, January 30, 2004—Built in 1927,
the eleven-story Édifice Thémis at 10 rue Saint-Jacques
once proudly dominated Old Montreal’s cityscape as a towering
skyscraper. Today, the heritage building at the corner of boulevard
Saint-Laurent is just as proud to welcome forty-five owners into
its luxurious, brightly lit, and cozy condominiums. All the comforts
of today combined with the historic cachet of yesteryear are sure
to delight the owners who will take possession of their prestigious
new homes by late 2004.
This highly sought-after location only steps from Cité du
multimédia, Montreal’s finest restaurants, and the city’s
most popular cultural venues and festival sites has already won over
a number of well-known European screen actors, directors, and producers.
They were immediately charmed by the harmonious design and use of
such noble materials as stone, marble, brass, and wood. To top it
all off, the New York–style interiors and Italian-design kitchens
combined with Montreal’s unique character proved to be simply
irresistible!
The pure charm of
the location is made all the more attractive by the building’s
many practical features. A multi-floor underground parking lot
can accommodate over thirty cars. In addition, superior
soundproofing, central air conditioning, two elevators, automatic
sprinklers, garbage chutes, and sophisticated security systems
will make life easier for condo owners, who can enjoy peace of
mind as
they relax in the comfort, tranquility, and sensuous luxury of
their homes.
The building’s many windows provide abundant
natural lighting in every apartment and offer spectacular views
of the surrounding
cityscape—day and night. Depending on the apartment, occupants
can admire the ever-changing St. Lawrence River, the city’s
most striking architectural marvels, or the historic landmarks
of Old Montreal.
With solid experience in commercial building construction,
promoters Daniel Revah and Patrick
Levy took up the challenge of breathing
new life into a nearly hundred-year-old building, this time in
the residential sector. In cooperation with architect Karl
Fischer,
renowned
for the quality and originality of his plans in New York City,
Sydney, San Antonio, Toronto, and Montreal, they succeeded in reinventing
this space with an ultramodern flair while preserving the architecture
and very essence of the eleven-story building. “We immediately
spotted the building’s potential. Old Montreal has really picked
up steam. It is now a thriving neighborhood 12 months a year and
has become a highly popular residential area. For us, this project
is the culmination of a dream, and we are making every effort to
make the building a unique and special place,” noted spokesman
Patrick Levy.
Condos range from 810 sq. ft. to 1,610 sq. ft. and
will sell for between $225,000 and $1,200,000. The five penthouse
apartments feature
a mezzanine and fireplace. Reasonably priced household appliances
are available upon request. Visits of the model apartment can be
arranged. There’s no doubt: This is a must-see address!
