Ottawa Citizen – Project of the Week: Petrie's Landing offers a community nestled in nature, connected to the city

A cottage feeling with the city’s essential amenities and services nearby. This rare balance defines Petrie’s Landing, a rental community by Brigil, situated in Orléans and offering a complete living environment amid natural surroundings.

“The last few years have demonstrated many citizens’ desire to be able to enjoy a balance between work and personal life,” says Jessy Desjardins, Brigil’s vice-president, Development and Design. “Petrie’s Landing is the perfect place for those who want to adopt this lifestyle. The community borders the Ottawa River and is near Petrie Island, but downtown Ottawa is easily and quickly accessible via the O-Train Trim station — a mere 850 metres away — and services like Place d’Orléans Shopping Centre and Orléans Health Hub are close by. It’s really like living in a cottage, except without the worry of cutting the grass and cleaning out the gutters.”

Outdoor adventures at your doorstep

The community offers a variety of green spaces along the river: bike paths that lead downtown, alluring beaches to play volleyball or enjoy the relaxing views, and walking paths along the natural conservation areas. Residents — many of whom are self-sufficient, active retirees — appreciate the freedom of a convenient and safe condo lifestyle while immersed in nature. At Petrie’s Landing, a friendly community manager shares residents’ daily life and ensures the smooth running of operations while several surveillance cameras operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week.   

“We offer luxurious and comfortable living spaces,” says Desjardins. “The concept of comfort, for us, goes beyond high quality materials and sumptuous common areas. It is also to offer a place where security is omnipresent and where our tenants can feel good knowing that their well-being is a priority.”

An unparalleled lifestyle

In spring 2023, Tower 3 of Phase 1, featuring 18 floors and 162 suites, will be ready for move-in. The refined common areas of this tower serve as extensions of residents’ living space. The over 9,000 sq. ft. of shared amenities, mostly located at rooftop level, will feature a social lounge, outdoor pool and adjacent rooftop terrace, hot tub and barbecue, and an indoor gym and changing rooms.

“From the rooftop, Petrie’s Landing offers a breathtaking view of the Ottawa River and allows you to recharge your batteries and enjoy the beauty surrounding the building,” says Desjardins. “It is with this spirit in mind that we have designed the rooftop terrace. Whether for a birthday, an aperitif or a moment of rest, the layout is ideal for unwinding and connecting with friends and neighbours.”

Integrated development, concerted vision

When Petrie’s Landing is complete, it will be an urban village comprised of six highrise residential towers (two of which are constructed and fully occupied), eight four-storey condo buildings (with the eighth and final building currently under construction) and several commercial spaces offering residents shops and more amenities, flanked by nature.
