What Vivenda does

Vivenda is a privately held Montreal-based real estate development company specializing in multi-unit residential construction, including condominiums, townhouses, and rental properties. Founded by Stéphane Perreault, who brings 25+ years of experience and a portfolio exceeding 1,600 housing units, the company focuses on concrete construction with an "intelligent design" philosophy where form follows function. Vivenda's completed and ongoing projects include Rose-Phillips, Rose-Phillips 2, VAM, VAM 2, MIO, Les Loges, Maison de ville, and Central Rosemont, primarily located in Montreal neighborhoods such as Rosemont Petite-Patrie, Hochelaga-Maisonneuve (HOMA), and Petite Italie.

The company operates a sales-led go-to-market model, marketing through its bilingual website (vivenda.ca), project-specific sales sites, and earned media coverage in publications such as La Presse, The Gazette, and Le Devoir. Vivenda generates revenue through two primary streams: one-time condominium sales to individual buyers and recurring rental income from operational rental properties such as Central Rosemont. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and operates on a quote-based model. With 17 employees and a founder-led operating structure, Vivenda maintains direct control over its development pipeline without external equity or venture backing, serving families and individuals seeking quality residential housing in desirable Montreal neighborhoods.

The company's core technical differentiator is its concrete multi-unit construction approach combined with design philosophy that integrates environmental characteristics into living spaces. Project sizes range from 28 to 114 units, with the largest project (Rose-Phillips 2) completed between 2018 and 2021. Vivenda positions itself as a relationship-driven developer, supporting customers before, during, and after purchase, including notary arrangements and pre-delivery inspections.

Broad incumbents

• Carbonleo: Major Quebec developer of large mixed-use lifestyle districts (e.g., Royalmount). Although focused on larger formats, it competes with Vivenda for high-quality infill sites in desirable Montreal areas.
• Mattamy Homes: Canada's largest privately-owned homebuilder, with deep activity in Ontario, Alberta and growing presence in Quebec/Montreal. Overlaps with Vivenda on for-sale residential product but at vastly greater scale, capital access, and geographic footprint.
• Devimco Immobilier: One of Quebec's largest residential and mixed-use developers, with major projects (e.g., District Griffin, Square Children's) in Montreal. Overlaps with Vivenda on urban condo development but operates at materially greater scale and capital base.
• Brivia Group: Montreal-focused developer of residential, rental and mixed-use projects (e.g., YUL, LBJ). Targets similar urban condo buyer profile as Vivenda but at a much larger project scale.
• Groupe Montoni: Montreal-based construction and real estate development group delivering large-scale residential, industrial and commercial projects. Competes with Vivenda for land and tenants in Montreal, though with broader product mix and significantly larger organization.
• Centurion Asset Management: Canadian owner and operator of purpose-built rental apartments, including assets in Montreal. Comparable to Vivenda's rental strategy via Central Rosemont, but operates an institutional-scale rental platform rather than a build-for-sale developer model.

Direct peers

• Prével Alliance: Quebec residential and mixed-use developer with a strong Montreal presence and an explicit co-development relationship with Vivenda on the Maison de ville project. Operates the same mid-rise condo/townhouse model targeting owner-occupiers in inner-city neighborhoods.
• Groupe TGTA: Quebec-based residential developer active in multi-unit housing in the Greater Montreal area. Similar mid-rise, owner-occupier condo focus and regional scale to Vivenda.
• Habitations Raymond et Fils: Quebec multi-generational homebuilder and developer of multi-unit residential projects across the province. Closely comparable in scale, customer profile, and product type to Vivenda's condo and townhouse offerings.

Regional players

• Construction Dinamo: Montreal-based general contractor and developer of multi-unit residential projects. Closely comparable in scale and Quebec concentration to Vivenda, with overlapping design-build positioning.
