There’s a growing buzz at Zibi, and it’s not just the hum of construction or the sound of the Ottawa River. Every month, more people are coming to Zibi to work, collaborate, and spend their days onsite, bringing new life and energy to our waterfront community. 

A Growing Workforce 

With 4 commercial buildings and spaces now open on both sides of the river, Zibi is welcoming hundreds of professionals who start and end their workdays here. The community’s parks and plazas are busier than ever, filled with people walking or taking a break by the water, or attending one of the many pop-up events happening throughout the site. 

With the increase in onsite workers, Zibi is becoming a lively daytime destination where creativity and collaboration thrive — a true mixed-use community taking shape before our eyes. 

Everyday Amenities and Services Coming Soon 

To support this growing community, new amenities and services are on the way, and residents, workers, and visitors will be able to take care of more of life’s essentials right here at Zibi, including: 

  • Aisle 24, a 24/7 self-serve grocery store opening soon 
  • Doctors’ offices and wellness professionals providing healthcare close to home and work 
  • Financial and professional services to help you manage your finances, including banking 
  • Fitness centers to help maintain a healthy lifestyle 
  • Retail and dining options expanding the choices for shopping, lunch breaks, or after-work gatherings 

These additions will make Zibi an even more complete community; one where people can live, work, and play sustainably within walking distance. 

Pop-Ups and Community Happenings 

Adding to the momentum, Zibi continues to host a range of pop-up events and activations that make every visit to the site feel fresh and inspiring. 

Local and visiting artists have shared their creativity to the community through events like the Urban Arts Collective’s urban markets, while food lovers have enjoyed our Tuesday afternoon farm stand pop-ups, and the annual Pied de Cochon’s pop-up Christmas and Easter dinner pick-up location. And for those who value sustainability and community spirit, the popular Repair Cafés offer a chance to learn, share skills, and give new life to everyday items — right in the heart of Zibi. 

Each event adds a new layer of vibrancy to the community and showcases the kind of collaboration and innovation that defines Zibi’s spirit. 

A Community with Momentum 

This growing activity, from bustling workplaces to new services and creative pop-ups, is part of the larger story unfolding at Zibi: a complete waterfront city coming to life. With every new office opening, every artist’s showcase, and every shared moment along the water, Zibi’s momentum continues to build. 

Whether you’re coming to work, visit, or simply enjoy a day by the river, there’s never been a more exciting time to be at Zibi.
