This residence has 45 dwellings from T2 to T4 labeled RT 2012 and certified NF Habitat. 10 housing units have been proposed for home ownership and 35 are dedicated to Auvergne Habitat, social backer of the Greater Montreal area.
The concept of intergenerational residences Cocoon'Ages, created in partnership with the social engineering company Récipro-Cité, confirms the relevance of its model with about thirty operations in assembly and development.
Habitat is clearly seen as a major lever for improving a new quality of life for “better living together”. The association of a manufacturer/promoter and a committed manager forms a solid partnership in response to the issues presented, which are often closely related.

As part of the Charter, «1 building, 1 work», the artist Barbara Mouton was selected to create a work that dresses the "Maison des Projets" of the residence. The painting the artist created for this meeting place is colourful and joyful, mixing generations in a nurturing garden. The artist took pleasure in simply telling small slices of life, of games. She hoped that this work would participate aesthetically in the pleasure of living together in this place and that young and old could recognize each other.
