As developer Carbonleo designed Royalmount in Mount Royal, Québec, they created a pedestrian-oriented space that prioritized sustainable landscape, public transit access, and active mobility. Royalmount became an eco-community that seamlessly integrates nature throughout its indoor-outdoor design, offering a unique blend of experiential attractions, retail stores, office spaces, and accommodations that are rooted in restoration and environmental consciousness. Because Québec experiences intense winters with unpredictable amounts of snow and ice, Carbonleo needed a solution to heat the outdoor sidewalks, allowing guests to enjoy the facility safely during winter while also protecting the outdoor greenery.  

“Uponor Construction Services designed the system, and we simply installed their design,” said Dale Hicks of Dale Hicks and Associates, LLC. “They have been of immeasurable service to us. I refer Uponor PEX to colleagues all the time.” 

All 24 homes in the development feature Uponor AquaPEX® plumbing systems and AquaSAFE™ fire sprinkler systems with ProPEX® fittings in ½" to 1½" sizes. The multipurpose fire sprinkler systems seamlessly integrate into the home’s cold-water plumbing system, which increases the speed of installation and provides homeowners with greater peace of mind. 

“Weber Hill Villas is just our latest development, and we will apply a lifetime of work, knowledge and innovation to make it truly world class,” explained Hicks.
