1,195 housing units were built in Trois-Rivières in 2021 while in 2020, there were 649. The increase is therefore 84% this year.
The works were concentrated on multi-family buildings with four or more units, such as condominiums and apartment buildings for a total of 660 units.
In 2021, the total value of these investments is over $ 400 million. Again, this is a banner year.
The municipal authorities are pleased to have introduced an online service for issuing building permits. A particularly useful tool in times of pandemic.
