Dorchester island: the Trudel group sets the record straight

The Trudel group denounces the numerous falsehoods which is the subject of its project of the Dorchester island, in particular on its intentions of making short -term rentals, and which are peddled by the coalition bearing the same name.

The Trudel group reacted through an open letter the day after an exit from the coalition Dorchester, which denounces, for its part, the project by evoking the non-compliance with the Particular Urban Plan (PPU) of Saint-Roch Sud, adopted in 2017.

The Trudel group wishes to set the record straight confirming that it has no intention of setting up short -term rental of Airbnb type in the project.

“This statement is a conscious and shameless lie. During voluntary consultations upstream of Trudel last spring, the representatives of the company systematically told the 18 groups and 250 people encountered that there would never be an airbnb in the projects of the company, at the Dorchester island or elsewhere ”, can be read in the letter.

Not a “luxury hotel”

The term “luxury hotel” used by the coalition also sheds an eyebrow the Trudel group.

“Trudel has not revealed its partnership with a large international banner and to assert that the concept chosen would be” very luxury “is false.

On the contrary, he will target nomadic and digital clientele in search of an authentic urban experience, a concept very far from a Ritz or a W hotel, “we also read in this same letter.

The promoter also returned to the subject of affordable housing, reassuring that there would be units for this vocation as well as for green spaces, evoking that there would be more than what the PPU provides.
