Each apartment will be spacious, bright, and include five appliances along with numerous inclusions. Lib Kanata will also offer a variety of common areas designed to encourage an active and social lifestyle: culinary space, fitness room, swimming pool, billiard room, lounge area, outdoor courtyard, ground-floor retail spaces, and much more.<\/p><p>Ideally located across from Kanata Entertainment Centrum, providing excellent access to urban amenities within walking distance, while featuring the charm of peaceful and safe community living. This new 55+ rental complex will be situated in the heart of a green environment, and close to a wide range of shops, entertainment venues, grocery stores, pharmacies and restaurants to meet all of its tenants\u2019 daily needs. Its strategic location will also enable quick access to the Ottawa River and a number of green spaces, including magnificent Beaverbrook Park, as well as the Kanata Seniors\u2019 Centre, promoting an active lifestyle.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>A response to changing housing needs<\/strong><\/p><p>Based on data from Statistics Canada\u2019s 2021 census, adjusted to 2025 market forecasts, 25.6% of the population of Kanata and surrounding area is aged 55 and over. As elsewhere in Ontario, the residential needs of this clientele are evolving, particularly when it comes to flexible solutions adapted to contemporary and active lifestyles. The selected site in Kanata meets these expectations.<\/p><p>\u201cCongratulations to EMD-Batimo on the ground-breaking for Lib Kanata, its first residential real estate project outside of Qu\u00e9bec,\u201d says <strong>Cathy Curry<\/strong>, City of Ottawa municipal councillor for Kanata North ward. \u201cI am excited for the opportunity this provides residents 55 and over in our community. With the high demand for housing in Kanata North, I am always so happy to see housing built in the right locations. Thank you EMD-Batimo for investing in Kanata!\u201d<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Lib Kanata: a major eco-friendly construction project with long-term benefits<\/strong><\/p><p>The Lib Kanata project represents an investment of $126 million and will contribute to the creation of more than 130 jobs at the peak of construction. Once completed, it will generate annual spinoffs of several hundred thousand dollars for Kanata. The construction project, scheduled to last 24 months, is currently progressing with the concrete pouring and foundation work. There are approximately 20 months remaining before completion. A number of specific measures have been implemented to reconcile environmental standards with the creation of attractive and sustainable living spaces. Delivery is scheduled for spring 2027. The construction of a second phase is planned for the future. The leasing office will open in spring 2026.
