THE NEIGHBOURHOOD


Nestled between the Gatineau River and Gatineau Park, Esplanade features a unique opportunity to build your dream home steps away from Wakefield Village.

This covenant-regulated neighbourhood provides spacious lots for single-family homes at its core, with a few pockets of varied housing along its picturesque edges. You'll find a variety of housing types, rural architectural concepts, and sensible commercial offerings spread out amidst the forest and open meadows, next to rocky outcrops, streams, and outdoor gathering spaces, all connected by trails.

Wakefield and its surroundings are a true playground for nature enthusiasts. For those who enjoy community life, join us for various activities such as festivals, farmers' markets, music events, and art galleries, to name a few.

THE INSPIRATION


Everything we do is informed by three distinct values: integration, community, and sustainability. The objective is to create a sustainable neighbourhood which celebrates the natural landscape and provides the infrastructure required for a coveted community.

Esplanade is carefully designed to limit human intervention on existing natural features. Specifically, this is done by reducing road easements, limiting cut and fill, protecting natural points of interest, seamlessly integrating architecture with the site’s topography, and preserving large portions of forest cover.

A healthy community requires quality infrastructure to thrive. Esplanade aims to provide a diverse landscape of mixed-density residential housing and sensible commercial offerings, abundant green spaces, parks, and trails that connect them. The proximity to Wakefield Village and the services it offers allows for a walkable community.

Advancements in building technology allow us to explore sustainability through multiple avenues. Whether it's the choice of quality material, energy-efficient building components, envelope composition, thoughtful and functional massing, quality mechanical systems, water usage, sanitary servicing, our objective is to achieve a superior quality of life.

ABOUT THE DEVELOPER - SYLVAIN VIAU

Many years ago, my parents bought a small 3-season cottage on 31 Mile Lake. I remember coming down MacLaren Road for the first time, through the rock cut, and being stunned by this beautiful south-facing meadow to my left, with the hills on the horizon. Little did I know it would become Esplanade.

Inspired by the beauty of the Gatineau Hills, I previously worked on the design of the Chelsea Highlands development nearby. Our priority was to minimize the impact of the project on the natural environment. Esplanade is a continuity of this vision of placemaking and celebration of the natural beauty that surrounds us.
