At this point it's a parking lot/brownfield with no urgency from the developer to complete it any time soon.

It has the retail spaces and plazas to become a true gathering place, but retailers don’t seem interested in opening there at the moment. As downtown continues to expand westward with the new library and Odenak, Zibi’s appeal will likely grow though its future may ultimately depend on whether the downtown arena actually gets built.

Personally I am eager to see what is done with the existing legacy spot on the southern end. Would be a great location for some patios and art spaces etc. Could easily be turned into a mini Distillery district. Dying to see those preserved turbine things get placed somewhere permanently.

Even just the string lights across the parking lot in its semi abandoned state has some appeal to it.

Sounds like we're going to get a DevApp for the Hull block on the corner of Laurier and Eddy very soon. 240 units. Hoping we get more info/renderings within the next few days.

Sorry, Gatineau's version of DevApp. Nowhere as good as Ottawa's version.

New 23 floor proposal on the Hull side for Zibi with 240 units. Two level underground parking.

Quite plain, but with quality materials, and if they keep the red brick podium, it will be a nice addition to the Hull skyline.

Thanks to Julien from Sidetrack - RFC Community on Discord.

Stats:
  • 73m tall
  • 240 units total
  • 59 affordable units
  • 388 m2 retail space
  • 75 parking spaces
  • 240 bike parking spaces

Unit breakdown:
  • 21 studios
  • 174 1 bed (22 with den)
  • 45 2 bed (3 with den)

Description:

Il s’agit d’un bâtiment mixte isolé de 23 étages (72,62 m de hauteur), comprenant un total de 240 logements, dont 59 logements abordables (le projet a déjà reçu une approbation pour un financement du Programme de prêts pour la construction d’appartements de la [SCHL]), et un espace commercial de superficie de 388 m2 au rez-de-chaussée de l’immeuble dans la partie donnant sur la rue Laurier. Le bâtimen comprendra également deux niveaux de sous-sol pour accueillir 75 cases de stationnement. Le projet propose 240 unités de stationnement pour vélos dont 14 seront aménagées à l’extérieur près des différentes entrées au bâtiment

It seems Dream has decided to go the safe route with pretty every Zibi project on the Gatineau side, unfortunately. They seem to want to focus more on the Ottawa side with higher quality designs.

But yes, with the red brick podium and high quality materials, it could look quite decent.

I keep hoping for something like the VIU on the Gatineau side of Zibi but so far all we get are metal boxes

Yeah, I was hoping for something better. Even Heafey who built VIUs didn't quite capture that lighting again with the WEs.

Une tour de 23 étages à la sortie du pont des Chaudières

Par Mathieu Bélanger, Le Droit
28 novembre 2025 à 04h03


La métamorphose du centre-ville de Gatineau se poursuit. Cette fois c’est sur le site Zibi, à l’angle des rues Laurier et Eddy, qu’elle va s’opérer et venir encadrer l’une des principales entrées du cœur de l’île de Hull.

Un immeuble de 23 étages comprenant 240 logements et près de 400m2 de superficie commerciale au rez-de-chaussée devrait être en chantier, au cours des prochains mois, à la sortie de la traverse du pont des Chaudières, a appris Le Droit.

Le projet bénéficie déjà d’une recommandation favorable du service de l’urbanisme. Il sera soumis à l’analyse du comité consultatif d’urbanisme (CCU) lundi.

L’immeuble sera l’un des plus élevés dans tout l’ensemble Zibi, et le plus haut sur la rive québécoise du projet au moment de son achèvement, confirme la porte-parole de Zibi, Annie Boucher. «Il contribuera à définir une porte d’entrée clé vers le centre-ville de Gatineau, ajoute-t-elle. Sous réserve des autorisations nécessaires, la construction est prévue en 2026.»

Le projet soumis au CCU prévoit que les cinq premiers étages formeraient un basilaire de brique rouge avec beaucoup de fenestrations. Le rez-de-chaussée de l’immeuble qui occupera l’angle stratégique des rues Laurier et Eddy serait réservé à des usages commerciaux. «On veut concevoir des espaces adaptés aux locataires du secteur de la restauration, précise Mme Boucher. Il y aura des possibilités d’aménagement de terrasses extérieures qui animeront le paysage urbain.»

Sur les 240 logements que l’immeuble doit abriter, 174 compteront une seule chambre. Le projet prévoit une quarantaine de logements de deux chambres et 21 studios. Le promoteur a déjà une entente avec la Société canadienne d’hypothèques et de logement (SCHL) pour que le projet comprenne 59 unités considérées comme abordables. Une terrasse doit être aménagée au dernier étage de l’immeuble, mais aussi au 5e étage dans l’espace dégagé par le basilaire.

Un stationnement souterrain doit être accessible par l’arrière du bâtiment. Il doit compter 75 places. De nombreux supports à vélo sont aussi prévus.
