Brigil’s team is proud to announce the construction of the very first residential apartment building on the Canevas site, formerly Place Cartier, at 425 boulevard Saint-Joseph in Gatineau.
This modern six-story building will offer 146 units and contribute to enriching the residential landscape of the area. Featuring two elevators, two lounges totaling over 2400 square feet, and a large outdoor terrace, this building will enable a forward-thinking communal lifestyle, offering amenities such as a fitness center and a yoga room. Residents will also benefit from proximity to Canevas merchants such as Cascara Café & Bistro, Habitude Design, and Espace Hygie, and will have access to a public market as well as event programming.
Inspired by European urban concepts, Canevas will become a comprehensive community that will stimulate the economy and the community spirit of the area.
“The evolution of Canevas began shortly after its acquisition in 2019, and with the very first renovation work in 2021. Today, we are embarking on the next phase of its evolution with the addition of residential units. Canevas represents a promise of revitalization and strengthening of our community. The goal is to propel a vibrant living environment where human connections can be created, and where the local economy is supported at all levels,” explains Jessy Desjardins, Vice President of Development and Design at Brigil.
During the works, Brigil is committed to maintaining the residents’ comfort and the continuity of commercial activities. Improvements to pedestrian pathways and the reorganization of parking starting in April will ensure easy access, and the availability of over a thousand parking spots will minimize impacts on daily life.
We invite you to contact our team at any time for questions and interview requests related to these new residential units soon available at Canevas.
