Your Guide to Canoë
The Project
Yes! The project includes flexible spaces designed for small entrepreneurs, artisans, and professionals who wish to work and receive clients within their living environment. These spaces, integrated into phases 4 and 5, will be thoughtfully designed to meet the specific needs of this clientele and will be located along the Allée des artistes to maximize their potential.
The project will feature rooftop terraces in phases 1 and 2, offering views of the city, the river, and the Olympic Stadium, as well as green roofs throughout. Residents will also have access to a fitness center and indoor relaxation spaces.
Additionally, a community room will be available to tenants, co-op members, and condo owners, and will also be open to neighborhood residents. The aim is for this space to be managed by a local non-profit organization.
Construction of phase 1 began in spring 2023, with phase 2 scheduled to start in summer 2025. The entire six-phase project is projected to span 7 to 8 years from the start of construction.
The Canoë project is spearheaded by Rachel Julien, encompassing property management, after-sales service, sales, rentals, and construction. Architectural design is a collaboration with firms ADHOC, Ædifica, and uneparcelle (landscape architect), focusing on sustainable development and neighborhood integration.
Ten percent of Canoë's land will be transformed into a public park developed by the City, equivalent to 2.5 soccer fields, accessible to the entire community. This park aims to reconnect the site with generous, multifunctional green spaces.
Furthermore, the Allée des artistes will enhance the experience with playful and interactive spaces, featuring creative installations that encourage discovery and interaction for all ages.
Canoë aims to revitalize a previously enclosed and concrete area into a vibrant, welcoming, and inclusive space. The project will introduce:
- Local shops and services to simplify daily life
- Green spaces for leisure and relaxation
- Shared, inclusive, and secure environments
- Increased neighborhood stability and serenity
- Support for active and public transportation, including car-sharing services and infrastructure encouraging walking, cycling, and transit use
By offering a diverse and local living environment, Canoë contributes to combating urban sprawl and promotes a lifestyle where everything is within reach.
Canoë recognizes the vital role artists play in communities by providing accessible workshops and exhibition spaces. The central pedestrian axis of the project is named in their honor, celebrating their creativity and essential contribution to neighborhood life.
Absolutely! Designed as an open and vibrant space, the Allée des artistes will be car-free, featuring secure bicycle parking at both ends, ensuring a welcoming environment for all.
The initial commercial offerings, including a grocery store, café-bistro, and childcare center, will be part of phases 1 and 2 of the project.
Canoë is committed to environmental sustainability through:
- Green roofs to enhance biodiversity, reduce heat islands, and improve building insulation
- Urban agriculture spaces for residents to cultivate produce, fostering local, sustainable food practices and community bonds
- Green mobility solutions, including car-sharing services and 100% electric-ready parking spaces to facilitate electric vehicle adoption
- Innovative building envelopes and energy recovery systems to maximize energy efficiency and reduce consumption
- Integrated waste management with refrigerated rooms to minimize odors, cardboard compactors to optimize recycling, and modern waste compactors for daily management.
These initiatives reflect Canoë's dedication to promoting an environmentally respectful lifestyle aligned with community needs and sustainable development principles.
