Brigil façonne des communautés durables où les gens se sentent connectés, valorisés et chez eux. (Anglais seulement)

Brigil breathes vitality into the neighborhoods of the National Capital Region through bold projects and a vision centered on human connections.

Since 1985, Brigil has redefined what it means to be at home by creating exceptional living environments combining quality, sustainability, and well-being. Founded by Gilles Desjardins, this family-owned business has established itself as a leading real estate developer in the National Capital Region. At over 14,000 residential units and counting, Brigil has never lost sight of the essential: Creating spaces where people truly want to live.

Brigil understands that housing is more than just walls and roofs – it is a true art of living. Whether you’re a young professional, a growing family, or a retiree, these communities and their living spaces are designed to be complete and functional, letting you create treasured moments in the comfort of your own home. Brigil builds with your needs in mind.

Designing communities that bring people together

Brigil’s community planning is distinguished by its long-term vision, focused on dynamic environments that foster human connections. Each location is carefully chosen with consideration for nearby services, neighbourhood vitality, and the potential to create a lifestyle that people seek. Whether nestled in urban settings or close to nature, Brigil communities are designed to strengthen human roots within their environment, support local businesses, and cultivate a sense of belonging. Each project reflects Brigil’s commitment to creating connected, harmonious, and human-centered living spaces.

This vision materializes in flagship communities like The Dale in Hintonburg (Ottawa), Le Columbia and Canevas in Wrightville (Gatineau), and Petrie’s Landing in Orléans. Brigil is also developing several new communities, such as Catherine, in the heart of downtown Ottawa, and Mooney’s Bay, a project inspired by the banks of the Rideau River. 

Rooted in the community, building for tomorrow

Brigil is deeply invested in the community. Aware of its role in society, the company actively raises awareness to social causes with the main goal of enriching local life. It supports organizations such as Centraide Outaouais, which fights against poverty and social exclusion; the Outaouais Health Foundation, which improves healthcare in the region; Le Gîte Ami, which provides support to people experiencing homelessness; and the Montfort Foundation, a pillar of healthcare in Eastern Ontario. This support is demonstrated through donations, sponsorships, and a strong presence at community events.

Driven by a passionate multidisciplinary team, Brigil aims to deliver 10,000 new rental units by 2035. Each construction project is guided by a bold vision: To create dynamic living spaces that meet the needs of current and future generations. 

It is this vision that inspires Desjardins to say, “We are building with purpose.”
