OFFICE OPPORTUNITIES
Blocks 2 & 3 are former industrial buildings, beautifully rehabilitated and repurposed into unique retail and office space, showcasing building features that honour the site’s fascinating past. Located to the east of Eddy Street in Gatineau, and to the west of the welcoming Place de l’île-Philemon, the brick and beam structures of Blocks 2 and 3 are joined by a striking glass atrium. Nearby Public Works campuses, residential buildings, engaging outdoor spaces, and previously inaccessible waterfront, make Blocks 2 & 3 a dynamic setting for ground-floor retail tenants, and upper-floor office tenants.
Block 7 is a 6-storey commercial building prominently located at the bustling intersection of rue Laurier and rue Jos-Montferrand. High efficiency systems and building elements, large and efficiently designed floorplates, combined with engaging architecture offer office tenants a comfortable, compelling working environment. The large format retail space at the base of Block 7, includes two full-size loading bays, and will be the ideal home for a grocer to serve the Zibi community. The striking design of Block 7 was inspired by the site’s legacy as a lumber yard and matchstick manufacturer, that offers office tenants and a large format retail tenant a unique presence at a key gateway to the Zibi community.
Block 207 is a 6-storey commercial building located on Chaudière West. The building’s striking architecture was inspired by antique photos of the lumber yards once located on the Zibi site. The succinct floorplates, high efficiency systems, and prominent location along Booth Street offer its occupants a comfortable and attractive working environment, sure to reflect well on the organizational values of tenants and promote brand visibility. First floor retailers will benefit from the building’s prominent location within Zibi’s public realm, with Head Street Square to the south and frontage along Booth Street.
Block 208 is a 4-storey commercial building bordering the waters of the Buchanan Channel, to the west of Booth Street. To maintain the appeal of the building’s industrial characteristics, the existing south and east walls, as well as their first structural bays, will be retained and rehabilitated, offering tenants a heritage feel with the efficiency of a new build. Block 208 opens onto Head Street Square, a vibrant public space designed to celebrate the industrial heritage of the site.
Block 211 will epitomize the state-of-the-art, class A office product that Zibi will bring to the market. High efficiency systems and building elements combined with thought provoking architecture will allow for maximum occupant comfort and offer tenants a creative, compelling working environment. Situated at the gateway to Chaudière East, Block 211 will open up to the breathtaking future Union Square park, allowing tenants to stay engaged with the outdoors. Tenants of Block 211 will have exceptional views of Parliament Hill and other landmarks of downtown Ottawa and Gatineau. Ground floor retail tenants will also benefit from prominent Booth Street frontage and loading bays at the rear of the Block 211.
