One building houses community facilities including two daycare centers (one municipal and one private), a school canteen, a library, a toy library, a youth center, rooms for local clubs, and an APEMS facility. The other building is dedicated to 43 assisted living apartments, comprised of 36 two-room apartments and 7 three-room apartments, with provisions for people with reduced mobility. This building also includes CMS (Centre médicosocial) premises, a hairdressing salon, a common room with a kitchen, and accessible bathroom facilities.

In addition to the assisted living units, the project offers 11 studios for students at affordable rents on the condition that they contribute to the community by providing small services to the assisted living tenants. This initiative promotes social bonding and community cohesion. The design of the project has been awarded the Minergie label for its energy efficiency and sustainability. Extensive groundwork was necessary to stabilize the site, previously marshland, which included the installation of piles and segments for building foundation consolidation.
