Nobel is one of the addresses most directly associated with Du Quartier station and Place de la Gare. The name nevertheless covers different forms of occupancy: owned condominiums and rental apartments.

Key takeaways
- Nobel Condominiums and Nobel Apartments are distinct ownership and rental offerings.
- The condominium project presents more than 270 units and Nordic-inspired architecture.
- Direct REM access is advertised for the complex; check the route from your unit and your access rights.
Nobel Condominiums: project features
The official site presents over 270 units in a 26-storey tower: studios, one- to three-bedroom condos and penthouses. These figures describe the condominium project, not current listings. Availability must be checked when you start your search.
Nordic-inspired architecture and interiors
Devimco Immobilier develops Nobel, with FABG contributing the architecture and BlazysGérard the interior design. The stated approach draws on Scandinavian style and Danish hygge, emphasizing simplicity and comfort.
When choosing a condo, assess how that intention translates into the unit you visit: circulation, storage, light and usable space. Finishes and furniture in developer renderings do not establish the inclusions of a resale.
Buying new: involve your broker from the start
If you are considering a new unit from the developer, contact me before registering, reserving or visiting. I can help compare units, inclusions and timelines, then check the project’s collaboration terms before you proceed.
Prior direct contact may affect the contribution toward broker remuneration, depending on project rules. Whether you owe an additional amount must be confirmed against the contractual remuneration and sums actually credited. If you have already contacted the developer, we can still review your situation.
Nobel Condominiums amenities
The ownership website describes the facilities below. Confirm current access and condition during your visit, along with booking and guest rules.
Read condominium fees alongside these services: ask what is included, what work is planned and how maintenance is funded. Do not automatically add rental amenities to an owner’s access rights.
- Remote work : lobby with a coworking area.
- Exercise : fitness room.
- Relaxation : pool with a waterfall and integrated spa.
- Outdoors : courtyard terrace and rooftop terrace with a fireplace.
- Entertaining : urban lounge.
Nobel Apartments: a separate rental offering
Devimco advertises 289 rental homes and describes a 28-storey complex. This is the Apartments offering, separate from the Condominiums presentation. The two offerings’ floor and unit counts are not interchangeable.
The rental offering lists appliances, Internet, heating, cooling and electricity among its inclusions. Confirm these in the lease and check parking or storage costs. These inclusions do not automatically apply to a condo bought or rented from an individual owner.
Two occupancy models
Nobel Condominiums includes studios, one- to three-bedroom units and penthouses overlooking Place de la Gare. Nobel Apartments offers rental units in several formats. Monthly cost cannot be compared without distinguishing ownership from renting.
A buyer considers down payment, financing, taxes, condominium fees and maintenance; a renter focuses on rent, inclusions, lease term and flexibility.
Check REM access from your own entrance
The official Nobel Condominiums website describes the complex as directly connected to the REM; Devimco also confirms the connection for Nobel Apartments. This is therefore a complex feature, not one advertised exclusively for rentals.
During your visit, walk from the condo door to Du Quartier station: elevators, controlled doors, footbridge and access rules. Direct access does not mean identical travel time from every unit.
REM proximity as a feature
The connection to Du Quartier station is a practical advantage for many residents. The actual route from the unit, orientation, noise, pedestrian activity and relationship with commercial spaces should still be considered.
A Place de la Gare view may appeal to some buyers and suit others less. The value of that attribute depends on the market and the unit's specific experience.
Buying or selling at Nobel
For a condominium, internal comparables, syndicate documents, fees, parking and amenities should be studied. At resale, strategy should also account for rental units that may affect perceptions or offer alternatives.
The distinction between Nobel Condominiums and Nobel Apartments should be explicit in any content or comparison to avoid mixing two different real-estate products.
Nobel: comparing a purchase and a rental
Solar presents Nobel within both its condominium and rental offerings. To compare two listings, first identify the unit’s exact status. The Nobel name alone does not establish inclusions, access rights or budget.
| Question | Buying | Renting |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront amounts | Down payment and acquisition costs | Moving and applicable start-up expenses |
| Recurring expenses | Mortgage, fees, taxes, insurance and maintenance payable by you | Rent, insurance and services not included |
| Documents | Title, declaration and syndicate records | Lease, schedules and applicable rules |
| Services and access | Confirm rights attached to the fraction | Confirm what is included in the lease |
Mortgage payments include repaid principal and should not be interpreted as rent. A full comparison also considers entry and exit costs and your occupancy horizon.
Questions to ask during a Nobel showing
Check the route from the unit to Du Quartier station, not just the distance between buildings. Access points, elevators and indoor routes are part of daily life.
- Orientation : what is visible from the main rooms and balcony?
- Atmosphere : what noise is noticeable with windows open and closed?
- Access : which amenities can this unit use and under what rules?
- Comparables : do the compared listings involve the same transaction type?
Compare with other Solar projects
Compare specific units: total budget, layout, orientation, amenities and occupancy date. Palma under construction, Oria and Solar resales suit different timelines.
