Laval, Quebec
Laval's open assessment roll prices 154,878 properties at $110.8 billion without naming a single owner, and the most valuable thing in it is a shopping centre: CF Carrefour Laval is one assessment unit worth $923,358,600, 0.83% of the whole city in one parcel, with 347 shop units inside it.
8 buildings · 6 with an owner established · 17 sources · 3 tier B · 5 tier A · prepared 2026-10-10
Ownership in Quebec is public and free, but only one property at a time. The roll is a public document: anyone can read the owner's name for a given address on the municipality's own site or at the city clerk's counter, and Laval runs such a tool. The provincial bulk file publishes the same records for all 154,878 Laval assessment units — land value, building value, lot area, storeys, year built, dwellings, non-residential premises, the statutory paragraph behind any tax exemption and the date the current owner's title was first registered — with the owner's name and mailing address cut out, and Données Québec states that re-identifying them is forbidden. So there is no lawful way to build a Laval owner database from open data; what the open file does give is the price of the ground and, through the exemption paragraph, the legal class of owner for every tax-exempt building. A sale price itself appears only in the Registre foncier du Québec, at 1,50 $ per document.

The marquee buildings
The towers that set the tone of the core, and who holds them. A price is the price a document states, on the date it states — not an estimate of what the building is worth now.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| CF Carrefour Laval 3025-3065 boulevard Le Carrefour, Laval 38.71 ha site (387,112.30 m² of land) · 3 floors |
Retail | Cadillac Fairview Corporation Limited The single most valuable assessment unit in Laval. MAMH's June 2026 quarterly roll records land $166,600,200 + buildings $756,758,400 = $923,358,600 (previous roll $783,582,100), CUBF 5001 “centre commercial super régional (200 magasins et plus)”, 347 non-residential premises, 3 storeys, built 1974, 387,112.30 m² of land, fully taxable, title first registered 2025-08-05. Cadillac Fairview's own retail site serves the property as “CF Carrefour Laval”; its corporate site calls CF “one of the largest owners, operators, investors and developers” of commercial property in North America but names no shareholder on any page that renders, and its deep property URLs all 404. |

Mixed use | Fonds de placement immobilier Cominar One assessment unit carrying all four address ranges: land $103,003,900 + buildings $88,029,000 = $191,032,900 (previous roll $164,246,200), CUBF 5999, 129 non-residential premises, 6 storeys, built 2001, 329,830.20 m² of land, taxable, title first registered 2014-09-30. Cominar's own portfolio page lists Centropolis among its six remaining shopping centres and gives 1799 avenue Pierre-Péladeau, Laval at 791,298 sq ft, plus eleven further promenade du Centropolis and avenue Pierre-Péladeau addresses, all inside the roll unit's address ranges. Cominar's newsroom reports its Mostra Centropolis residential towers opening phase by phase on the same site. |

Retail | Fonds de placement immobilier Cominar Roll: land $54,791,900 + buildings $72,699,000 = $127,490,900 (previous roll $115,125,100), CUBF 5002 "centre commercial régional (100 à 199 magasins)", 157 non-residential premises, 2 storeys, built 1968, 214,760.70 m² of land, taxable, title first registered 2010-01-01. Cominar's portfolio page names "DUO | Centre Laval" and gives 1600 boulevard Le Corbusier, Laval at 689,619 sq ft; the mall's own site redirects centrelaval.com to duolaval.com and carries the "carte Vitrine Cominar … acceptée dans les 7 destinations Cominar". Cominar separately lists 600-1350 boulevard Le Corbusier (Quartier Laval) at 265,087 sq ft. |

Mixed use | Not established the licence forbids naming the owner The second most valuable assessment unit in Laval: land $26,024,700 + buildings $457,707,900 = $483,732,600 (previous roll $362,282,700), 20 storeys, 717 dwellings, 49 non-residential premises, built 2021, fully taxable, title first registered 2015-09-28. Espace Montmorency's own site states "717 Appartements" and "15 Étages de bureaux", LEED Gold residential and LEED Platinum offices — the dwelling count matches the roll exactly. Groupe Montoni developed it, lists it as the one Laval residential property in its own leasing inventory, and has its head office at 600 rue Lucien-Paiement inside the complex; but no document opened names the entity that holds title, and the open roll redacts it. |

| Place Bell 1950 rue Claude-Gagné Ouest, Laval |
Civic | Not established the licence forbids naming the owner Laval's arena, home of the Rocket de Laval. Roll: land $13,197,600 + buildings $246,020,300 = $259,217,900 (previous roll $191,784,300), CUBF 7451 "aréna et activités connexes", 3 storeys, built 2017, 26,610.50 m² of land, plus two smaller related units at the same address ($7,707,400 and $7,317,300). The whole value is exempt under s. 204(5°) of the Loi sur la fiscalité municipale, which covers an immovable entered in the name of a mandatary of a local municipality, an MRC or a Communauté — so it is in public hands, but the roll's owner field is redacted in the open file and placebell.ca renders its About page only in JavaScript, so the holding entity is not named here. |

Institutional | Government of Canada (Correctional Service of Canada as custodian) Roll: land $43,872,000 + buildings $114,499,500 = $158,371,500 (previous roll $131,558,100), CUBF 6741, 4 storeys, built 1960, 926,328.10 m² of land, exempt under s. 204(1.1°) — an immovable entered in the name of the Crown in right of Canada or an agent of it. The Directory of Federal Real Property independently lists, at the same addresses, Correctional Service of Canada's Federal Training Centre (Multi-Level) at 6099 Levesque Boulevard East, 36,066 m²; Federal Training Centre (Minimum) at 600 Montee Saint-François, 26,280 m²; and Laval Penitentiary on Montee Saint-François, 17,301 m² — all three recorded as Crown Owned. |

The whole value is exempt under s. 204(14°a), which covers an immovable entered in the name of Santé Québec or of an establishment listed in Schedule II of the Loi sur la gouvernance du système de santé et de services sociaux — that statutory paragraph is the owner statement; the specific legal person is redacted from the open file. |

Exempt under s. 204(13°), which covers an immovable entered in the name of a school service centre, a CEGEP or a university-level teaching establishment, with a further portion under s. 204(14°c). Collège Montmorency is the only CEGEP at that address; the roll's redacted owner field is not read here. |

The core land
The most valuable ground in the city, and what the public record says about it.
Everything below was computed directly from RM65005.xml, MAMH's quarterly-update version of the Laval roll (file dated 2026-06-12, schema 2.9), whose market-conditions reference date RL0401A is 1 July 2023 — the roll in force for 2025-2026-2027. Quebec publishes the price of every parcel for free; it is the name against each one that is withheld. Re-sourced 2026-10-10 from MAMH's quarterly roll (www.mamh.gouv.qc.ca/role/RM65005.xml); the earlier build used a host whose robots.txt disallows crawling. The quarterly file is a later state than the deposited roll: the earlier build's RL65005_2026.xml matched MAMH's Sommaire du rôle 2026 exactly (154,876 units, $109,818,961,474), while this file carries 154,878 units and $110,779,254,974 (+0.87%) of maintenance changes since deposit. Differences in the record: CF Carrefour Laval $908,980,100 → $923,358,600 (land area 355,384.20 → 387,112.30 m², 346 → 347 premises); Espace Montmorency $473,434,600 → $483,732,600; DUO | Centre Laval $121,735,300 → $127,490,900 (now 1500-1690 Le Corbusier, 214,760.70 m²); Collège Montmorency $136,640,700 → $140,003,600; Centropolis, Place Bell, the federal penitentiary complex, the Cité-de-la-Santé hospital and the four unattributed parcels in unverified are unchanged.
Who builds the houses
New-home building in this market: the volume, and the firms behind it. Ownership of a builder matters as much as its volume — a private-equity platform and a family firm behave differently.
No Quebec or Canadian league table of housebuilders by units exists, so the figures below are each company's own published count, on its own basis. What Laval's open roll does give is a dwelling count per assessment unit and the year its main building went up, which is how the per-year figures in the core section were produced. The builders here are all private: not one significant Laval residential developer is a listed company, which is why none of these numbers is audited.
| Name | Type | Units (own basis) |
|---|---|---|
| Groupe Montoni Espace Montmorency's own site states "717 Appartements" and "15 Étages de bureaux" with LEED Gold and LEED Platinum certifications; Montoni's own leasing site lists Espace Montmorency as its one Laval residential property and gives its head office as 600 rue Lucien-Paiement inside the complex. The 717 figure matches the roll's dwelling count for the same assessment unit exactly. |

| Groupe Quorum Quorum's own site: "Quality design, hundreds of completed projects, more than 6000 units delivered, and thousands of satisfied buyers", a "family-owned and operated business" developing in Greater Montreal and off-island for over 40 years; its current projects include Val-des-Ruisseaux rental condos in Duvernay-Est, Laval. |

Commercial landlords
The commercial side, counted separately from housing: who holds the office, retail and industrial floor area.
Laval's commercial ground is unusually concentrated: two landlords hold the three retail destinations that anchor the city centre, and between them they account for well over 2 million sq ft. No Quebec body publishes a floor-area league table, so each figure below is the landlord's own disclosure or a roll figure, and they are not on comparable bases.
| Name | Type | Laval floor area |

Cominar's whole remaining portfolio is 6 shopping centres (4M sq ft) and 2 office properties (2M sq ft) — more than half of it in Laval. The figures are not summed here because the Centropolis addresses may overlap. |

Looked for and not found
Claims this page would have made if a source could be opened. They are left out rather than guessed.
- This record reads RM65005.xml, MAMH's June 2026 quarterly update (154,878 units, $110,779,254,974), not the deposited RL65005_2026.xml the Sommaire summarises (154,876 units, $109,818,961,474), because donneesouvertes.affmunqc.net disallows all robots. The two are 0.87% apart and are not reconciled line by line here.
- Who holds title to Espace Montmorency ($483.7M, the second most valuable unit in Laval). Montoni developed it and markets it; the complex was publicly reported to have been built in partnership with Groupe Sélection, which went into creditor protection in November 2022, and the Fonds immobilier de solidarité FTQ. No document naming the current title holder opened.
- The entity behind Place Bell. The roll's exemption paragraph (s. 204(5°)) establishes it is a mandatary of a local municipality, but not which one.
- Whether Cadillac Fairview is owned by the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan. CF's own corporate site names no shareholder on any page that renders, its deep URLs 404, and otpp.com returns 404 on its real-estate and major-investments paths.
- The price Cadillac Fairview paid for the half interest in CF Carrefour Laval. CoStar reported a figure; costar.com returns HTTP 403 to scripts, so no price is stated here. The roll does record that the current owner's title was first registered on 2025-08-05.
- Habitations Trigone's unit count. Search results attribute the Vivaxcès development at 855-867 avenue Léo-Lacombe (389 dwellings, 10 storeys, built 2023, $114,972,500 on the roll) to Trigone, but trigone.ca, habitationstrigone.com and groupetrigone.com all refuse connections, so no builder is named for that building.
- The occupiers and owners of three large taxable Laval parcels the roll prices but does not identify: 4655 autoroute 440 (Laval Ouest), CUBF 5161, 45,091.6 m², built 2015, $140,407,400; 1600 Montée Masson, cold storage, built 2013, $116,259,100; 1500 Montée Monette, a 1,034-dwelling seniors complex, 15 storeys, built 1988, $160,430,600.
- Any Quebec ranking of homebuilders by units delivered in a single year. None exists.
- Owner names are redacted from the provincial bulk roll and the licence forbids re-identifying them, so no lawful bulk owner join exists in Quebec. laval.ca's free per-property lookup, which would answer every blank above, is behind a Cloudflare challenge.
