Embodiment of urban elegance, modern comfort and historical authenticity, The Columbia is not just a residential building: it’s a lifestyle. This exceptional rental community is part of Brigil’s Apogee Collection and overlooks a vibrant neighbourhood where artisans, merchants, culture and gastronomy converge.

A strategic location, lively neighbourhoods

Overlooking the Lac-des-Fées, Wrightville and Parc-de-la-Montagne neighbourhoods, The Columbia benefits from its prime location in Gatineau. Just steps away from the cultural and economic centre of the city, its residents have quick access to services, entertainment venues and green spaces. This dynamic neighbourhood hosts numerous cultural events: shows, block parties, artisan fairs and community gatherings that set the rhythm for the seasons and create a warm and inclusive atmosphere.

Modern units and luxurious penthouses

The Columbia offers a range of rental units designed to meet the diverse needs of its residents, including spacious apartments and sumptuous penthouses. Each space is carefully designed, featuring quality materials and abundant natural light. The upper-floor units and penthouses offer breathtaking views of the neighbourhood and the surroundings.

Additionally, an electric vehicle charging station is available for residents, reinforcing Brigil’s commitment to a sustainable lifestyle.

Common spaces that expand your horizons

Beyond the living units, the Columbia focuses on vast, friendly and well-designed common spaces. Whether for working, relaxing or socializing, residents have access to many shared areas that foster interaction and a sense of belonging. Brigil provides its residents with an environment where physical, mental and emotional well-being is a priority. Thus, a fitness room and a yoga space are available. Brigil is committed to a life-embodying philosophy of comprehensive well-being. 

Visit the urban chalet and rooftop terrace equipped with barbecues and outdoor furniture. These places serve as the community hub, where bonds are formed and memories are created, especially during the Casino Lac-Leamy Sound of Light show, where the terrace offers a breathtaking and unique view of the pyrotechnic display.

A tribute to heritage: The Columbia Farm

One of the most distinctive features of the Columbia is its connection to local history. In front of the tower, the Columbia Farmhouse, dating from 1837, has been carefully preserved and highlighted. This heritage building, from the era of Philemon Wright, adds a touch of authenticity and charm to the ensemble, creating a harmonious visual between past and present. This beautiful old home serves as a visual landmark and a symbol of pride for the residents of the area and respect for the neighbourhood’s history. 

Nature and leisure nearby

Nature lovers will be delighted by the proximity of parks and green spaces. Whether for a morning walk, a family outing or a sports activity, the options are numerous. The neighbourhood invites exploration and relaxation while staying connected to urban excitement.

Lac-Leamy Park is just minutes from The Columbia. It offers a range of activities thanks to its trails, large green spaces and the lake, which allows for swimming and numerous water activities.
