About
A reality that is very much present in our community
In many neighborhoods like ours, a reality is becoming increasingly apparent: residents want to stay in their communities, but can no longer find housing that meets their changing needs. Whether they are seniors, people with limited mobility, family caregivers, or families, many are faced with the prospect of having to leave their neighborhoods.
The 22nd Avenue project was born out of this observation, but it has also evolved through ongoing discussions. After listening to the concerns expressed by the community, we revised our approach to propose a redesigned version that is better suited to its surroundings. This approach reflects our commitment to developing a project that is consistent with the reality of the neighborhood, in a spirit of openness and dialogue.

The Raven pays tribute to Robert Hachez, whose life story inspired this project. For many years, “Raven” has been the name and symbol with which he identifies. A mythical figure among the Nordic peoples, the raven symbolizes courage, resilience, a zest for life, and triumph over adversity.
Just like the people it represents, Le Raven celebrates the strength to stand tall, maintain one’s independence, and continue to fully occupy one’s place within one’s family, among loved ones, and within the community. More than just a building, Le Raven is a symbol of dignity, inclusion, and hope for all those who choose every day to live life to the fullest despite the obstacles.

Frequently Asked Questions
All the answers you need to better understand the project and its impacts on your community
The project addresses a very real need observed in the community: many people want to remain in their current living environment but are unable to find housing there that meets their changing needs.
The site in question has characteristics that are conducive to this type of development, allowing for the creation of a project on a human scale that is consistent with the residential scale of the area.
It is also important to recognize that the Melocheville neighborhood is distinct from the rest of Beauharnois. Although some services are more concentrated elsewhere, the neighborhood has its own distinct identity, an established residential community, and a strong sense of belonging.
The project aims to offer a tailored solution, deeply rooted in the community, to meet the needs of residents who wish to remain there.
Le projet s’adresse notamment à des aînés, à des personnes ayant une mobilité réduite, à des proches aidants ainsi qu’à des ménages à la recherche d’un logement fonctionnel et facilitant au quotidien.
Il vise principalement des personnes du secteur Melocheville et, plus largement, de Beauharnois, qui souhaitent demeurer dans leur milieu de vie malgré l’évolution de leurs besoins.
Le projet propose ainsi une option résidentielle permettant de conserver son autonomie, ses repères et ses liens de proximité, dans un environnement adapté à différentes réalités.
Yes. The project has evolved significantly as a result of discussions within the community. Plutôt que d’adopter une approche figée, nous avons pris le temps de mieux comprendre les réalités locales et les besoins du secteur.
Plusieurs versions ont été étudiées, menant à un projet repensé, plus cohérent avec son environnement et mieux adapté au contexte. Il s’agit aujourd’hui d’une proposition réfléchie, issue d’une démarche d’écoute et d’amélioration continue.
Le projet comprend 9 logements, principalement de type 3 ½, ainsi que deux unités de type 5 ½.
Le bâtiment comptera 2 étages habitables, avec un demi-sous-sol et une mezzanine pour certains logements. Cette configuration permet d’optimiser les espaces tout en maintenant une volumétrie harmonieuse.
Le projet a été soigneusement repensé afin de s’intégrer de manière harmonieuse à son environnement. L’implantation et l’architecture ont été ajustées pour respecter l’échelle, le caractère et l’identité du secteur.
Le projet vise en priorité des personnes du milieu dont les besoins évoluent, afin de leur permettre de demeurer dans leur communauté dans un logement mieux adapté à leur réalité.
