Resident experience

5 of 6 buildings rated · scale 1–10

AI research over published reviews and resident comments. Scores are a model’s reading of opinion, not figures stated on a page, and nothing here feeds any number above it. The links under each block are the pages that research says it used. Based on available resident reviews of covered buildings. These are reported experiences, not independent building inspections, and may not represent all residents or properties.

Upkeep and response — belongs to whoever runs the building now. From 4 of 5 rated buildings here and 226 in the market.
The market here is Canada: every other developer whose head office is in the same country, because the review platforms residents use, and the service norms they judge against, move together within one. It is not a city, a sector or a price band. Read structure and living together. A developer above the market on structure and below it on living builds well and runs buildings badly, which is a fixable problem and a different one from building badly. Higher ratings are better; differences use the displayed scores rounded to one decimal. Rated buildings only, on both sides, and a structure or living score with no stated basis — no review count and no notes or links — is left out of both.

Risks & source coverage

  • FINANCIAL DISTRESS December 31, 2025 Samcon Development Inc. (also known as Samcon Aménagement Inc.), a Montréal corporation registered at Samcon’s René-Lévesque address and associated in the record with Salvatore (Sam) Scalia, was dissolved on December 31, 2025; the available registry page does not state that the dissolution was insolvency-related, so this is an entity-specific corporate-status finding rather than proof that Samcon’s operating business became insolvent.
  • PROJECT CANCELLED Reported June 10, 2015 Samcon abandoned the planned MUZ condominium project at René-Lévesque Boulevard and Montcalm Street after about two years of marketing because sales were too slow; the project was described as a planned 135-unit, 10-storey development, and the sales office was closed while Samcon evaluated other options.
  • LEGAL Decision January 30, 2017 In an arbitration decision involving Samcon Gordon Inc. and Place Gordon Phase II, the tribunal partly allowed the condominium syndicate’s claim and ordered the contractor to correct negative grading around the rear façade within 75 days, with the warranty administrator to do so within 45 days if the contractor failed; the tribunal rejected the separate reimbursement claim for sump-pump work.

Start to completion, over 3 delivered here and 182 in the market.
The market here is Canada: every other developer whose head office is in the same country, because planning regimes and reporting norms move together within one. It is not a city, a sector or a size band. Read the two delay figures together. A median close to the market with a much better average means no single disaster; the reverse means one project is carrying the record. Time to deliver runs from the earliest start we hold to the completion itself — a construction start where a source gave one, otherwise a sales launch, otherwise the launch year read as its January. A handover the sources place only inside a year is read as that December, so a duration is the widest the record allows rather than the flattering end of it. Only delivered projects dated at both ends count, so it is taken over fewer projects than the delay figures, and a long build is not a fault: a tower is not a villa run. Sourced figures only, both sides, and values taken from documents held on file are excluded here — a developer who shares their records should not score better than one who does not.

Click a row in the chart to open a project, or a table row below to see its sources. The chart runs wider than the page where the record spans many years — scroll it sideways to follow a project to its handover. Every date we have is drawn. A hollow marker is only a launch year, not a date anyone published. No dates published means we looked and found none; dates not yet checked means we have not looked yet. Handing over is not finished — rows say which. A delay is shown when one source gives the promised date and another gives the real one, however rough: "2019" still counts, and the row shows how wide that is. Projects missing one of the two dates, or with sources that disagree, are left out of the figures. 3 turned out to be about something else — a phase, a neighbour, the wider masterplan — and are marked off-subject.

8.4/ 10
—/ 10
7.8/ 10

Google Reviews/Maps supplies the only building-specific published aggregate located: 4.9/5 from 7 reviews. Because the review base is below 10, the converted level is constrained to 7.5 rather than using the unconstrained top-end conversion; recurring praise for service and finishes moves the result modestly upward to 7.8. No structural rating or physical-condition review evidence was published in the material reviewed.

The published review material is strongly positive about day-to-day experience: one reviewer described the condo as having “elegant finishes” and said “After sale service is top notch as well.” Another wrote, “Sam and his team are absolutely great people.”

Google Reviews/Maps is the only building-specific published rating found: 5.0/5 from 1 review. Its direct curve conversion would be 10, but the rules require a rating under 10 reviews to remain within one point of 6.5, so the reported overall and living score is 7.5; there is no published structural evidence to score structure.

The only building-specific review evidence located is a 5.0/5 aggregate based on one review; no written operational comments about management, staff, security, amenities or upkeep were available. The developer describes a gym, sauna, indoor parking and heat-pump heating/cooling, but those are project claims rather than resident reviews.

Guide Immo est la seule plateforme trouvée publiant une note propre à Place Lajeunesse : 4,5/5 sur 2 votes. La conversion directe donnerait 8,5, mais la base de moins de 10 avis impose de rester dans un point de 6,5; aucun avis écrit, sous-score, désaccord ou problème structurel publiquement documenté n’a été trouvé pour justifier un autre mouvement.

Guide Immo affiche 4,5/5 (2 votes) pour Place Lajeunesse, sans commentaire opérationnel ou résidentiel visible dans la page consultée. La page officielle de Samcon décrit des balcons ou terrasses, du stationnement intérieur, des ascenseurs et une construction 100 % électrique, mais ces éléments sont des caractéristiques publiées du projet et non des avis de résidents; leur état actuel au 12 octobre 2026 reste donc non confirmé par les reviews.

Le plus grand échantillon publié est d’une seule évaluation Google à 3/5, convertie à 4/10 selon la courbe demandée. Comme aucune plateforme n’atteint dix avis, la note finale est maintenue dans la bande de prudence autour de 6,5; l’unique commentaire est trop peu détaillé pour justifier un ajustement thématique.

Le seul commentaire résident visible dit « Paisible j.aime » et a donné 3/5; il ne fournit toutefois aucun détail sur la gestion, le personnel, la sécurité ou l’entretien. La page officielle décrit notamment une terrasse sur le toit, des balcons privés, un rangement intérieur pour vélos et un système de chauffage/climatisation par pompe à chaleur, mais ces éléments ne sont pas des évaluations de résidents.

Aucune plateforme consultée ne publie de note agrégée propre à Le Drummond Tour 2, de sorte que le score repose sur les commentaires écrits effectivement lus. Leur tonalité est majoritairement critique sur l’apparence et la qualité perçue, mais les avis sont anciens, peu nombreux et ne sont pas des rapports techniques ni, pour la plupart, des témoignages de résidents; le résultat doit donc être considéré comme incertain.

Les sources consultées décrivent une structure de béton armé et annoncent une bonne insonorisation, mais ces éléments sont des caractéristiques publiées du projet et non des résultats d’inspection. Les commentaires du forum Agora Montréal qualifient toutefois le projet de « cheap », tandis que MTLURB rapporte des critiques sur les « matériaux + finitions »; aucune source lue ne documente une fuite, une panne d’ascenseur ou une défaillance structurelle précise.

samcon.caforum.agoramtl.commtlurb.com

Les pages du projet et des annonces locatives décrivent une piscine sur le toit, une terrasse avec BBQ, un salon et un gymnase; elles ne fournissent toutefois pas de notation de résidents ni de retours vérifiables sur la rapidité de la gestion, le personnel ou l’entretien quotidien. Les commentaires lus portent presque exclusivement sur l’apparence du projet, et non sur l’expérience de vie ou la sécurité.

samcon.cazumper.comliv.rent
Only buildings that have reached handover are rated. 1 of 6 projects carries no rating: a building still under construction is never asked about, one that has just been handed over may not have been reached yet, and the rest were asked about and no published resident commentary was found. Structure is fixed at handover and stays the developer's; management and living belongs to whoever runs the building now. The overall verdict weights both rather than averaging them. None of this is checked: a rating is what people published about a building, aggregated — it is not evidence, it cannot move a delay figure, and it is not part of the delivery record above.

France Moquin
France Moquin is the current director of the Samcon Foundation. Her documented responsibilities are handling donation and sponsorship requests and representing Samcon at social events; this is a senior affiliated-company/community role rather than a property-development operating title, so her inclusion is lower in the requested hierarchy.

Projects

Assessment coverage

Completed projects: 2016-10-15 through 2026-10-15. Initial research is capped at 10 completed projects and a separate delivery-risk search capped at 7 findings. Risk findings are not project assessment counts. Absence is not proof of a complete portfolio or no failures. Month-level dates overlapping a boundary are excluded from figures.

0 undated completions and 0 boundary-uncertain completions are retained but excluded from figures.

Stalled, cancelled & overdue projects

0 evidenced cases
The capped delivery-risk search ran; no project-level exception cases are recorded here. Risk findings are listed under Risks and are separate from assessed projects. This does not establish that the developer has no delivery failures.

Risks

Risk flags

4 found
FINANCIAL DISTRESS December 31, 2025
Samcon Development Inc. (also known as Samcon Aménagement Inc.), a Montréal corporation registered at Samcon’s René-Lévesque address and associated in the record with Salvatore (Sam) Scalia, was dissolved on December 31, 2025; the available registry page does not state that the dissolution was insolvency-related, so this is an entity-specific corporate-status finding rather than proof that Samcon’s operating business became insolvent.
PROJECT CANCELLED Reported June 10, 2015
Samcon abandoned the planned MUZ condominium project at René-Lévesque Boulevard and Montcalm Street after about two years of marketing because sales were too slow; the project was described as a planned 135-unit, 10-storey development, and the sales office was closed while Samcon evaluated other options.
LEGAL Decision January 30, 2017
In an arbitration decision involving Samcon Gordon Inc. and Place Gordon Phase II, the tribunal partly allowed the condominium syndicate’s claim and ordered the contractor to correct negative grading around the rear façade within 75 days, with the warranty administrator to do so within 45 days if the contractor failed; the tribunal rejected the separate reimbursement claim for sump-pump work.
PROJECT CANCELLED Published June 10, 2015; event reported as occurring about three weeks earlier (outside the October 12, 2016–October 12, 2026 window).
Samcon (through its president Sam Scalia) abandoned/cancelled the MUZ condominium project at René-Lévesque Boulevard and Montcalm Street after roughly two years of slow sales and closed its sales office; this is an older documented failure, and the material retrieved does not establish whether the site was later redeveloped or the matter otherwise resolved.
