Brigil Breaks Ground on Stewart Village, a New Neighbourhood Inspired by Rockland’s History and Built Around a Large Central Park

Brigil has officially launched the Stewart Village project, a new residential community in Rockland. The first sod-turning marks the start of construction of this neighbourhood, inspired by the history and landscape of the area.

This real estate project will bring together more than 2,000 homes, including townhouses, single-family homes and condominiums. The project will be developed gradually, with the aim of maintaining a balance between residential areas, green spaces and community gathering places.

Stewart Village is taking shape on land closely tied to Rockland’s history: the former Alexander Stewart quarry, which will become a central feature of the project. The design of the neighbourhood draws on it to create an environment deeply rooted in its surroundings.

“All our projects are close to our hearts, but Stewart Village holds a special meaning: the history of the place, its terrain and its natural character. As a Franco-Ontarian by birth, Rockland is part of our identity, and we are proud to contribute to its future while celebrating the past that shaped the entire National Capital Region. Our ambition is to build a neighbourhood where families can settle, meet and grow, while maintaining a real connection to nature and to Rockland’s identity,” said Gilles Desjardins, Founding President of Brigil.

The first phase is built around the central park, a large gathering place for the community. The village will include a network of parks and trails connecting the different sectors, allowing all residents to enjoy everything the site has to offer: the views, the quarry, the mountain and the heart of the village. It will also encourage walking and cycling.

Residents will also benefit from the proximity of schools, shops, essential services, sports facilities and the Ottawa River. Located about 30 minutes from Ottawa and 15 minutes from the Trim station and the Petrie Island beach, Stewart Village will offer a peaceful environment while remaining connected to the region’s main hubs.
