The station is located in Saint-Janvier on the city's east side. The City of Mirabel, Exo and Union des producteurs agricoles went on a lengthy negotiation to purchase land for the station.[4]
In December 2017, the project was given the go-ahead for preliminary plans, with a construction start due in early 2019.[5] The station was expected to open by the end of 2020, but it was postponed as construction site was closed for COVID-19.[6] The station features a 300-metre-long platform, 333 parking spaces, the "kiss and ride" passenger drop-off facility, and a bus loop with three bus platforms.[4] The remaining landscape and paving work are expected to be completed by Summer 2021.[6]
