The Canadian real estate developer and contractor Brigil has previewed its Espace Canevas community project, a planned $1.3 billion urban hub in Gatineau, Quebec.
Espace Canevas will be based at the site of the former Village Cartier shopping center. The project will offer the potential for 2,600 residential units, 192,000 square feet of commercial space, and 182,000 square feet of office space.
“What we are proposing with the Espace Canevas community is the redefinition of our urban spaces for the benefit of the Gatineau-Ottawa population,” said Jessy Desjardins, vice president of development at Brigil. “Reflecting the ambitions of the neighborhood, the project offers a second life to the Village Cartier shopping center and demonstrates the immense potential for transforming large commercial spaces to increase the number of available units in the context of a housing crisis.”
