Summary
Common at Zibi in Centretown West is the first Ottawa-based rental building within the Zibi community. The 25-storey building, located on Chaudière Island in the heart of Zibi, takes an innovative approach to integrating co-living, affordable and traditional suites in one building.
Offering a range of 207 units alongside thoughtfully designed and convenient amenities, Common at Zibi is designed to make Ottawa living easier and more fun. From private rooms in a shared co-living suite to furnished studio or private apartments, units feature bright, airy interiors, floor-to-ceiling windows, new appliances and the little things that make apartment living that much easier, like on-site laundry and keyless entry.
Common at Zibi offers a range of amenities and residents can break a sweat in the fitness centre or catch a movie with neighbours in the onsite movie room. For those who are working from home, the onsite lounge offers plenty of quiet space to focus, and for additional office or meeting room amenities, look no further than the Spaces co-working community located right across the plaza. During warmer months, there are two huge outdoor terraces where residents will find a peaceful retreat from city life. But the real star of the show is the multi-purpose, indoor-outdoor community space on the penthouse level providing unbeatable 360-degree views of the Ottawa River, Chaudière Falls, Parliament Hill and downtown Ottawa.

What’s in the community
Zibi is part of the National Capital Region’s downtown core, straddling the Ottawa River and the Ontario/Quebec border. As part of both Ottawa and Gatineau, it is positioned close to just about everything, from Gatineau Park to museums, shopping and more. It is both transit and bike friendly and is being developed with a vibrant mix of residential, retail, commercial and cultural uses.
Gatineau is Québec’s fourth largest city with a population of 291,041. Prior to European settlement, the area was inhabited by Anishinaabe peoples including the Algonquins. The current city of Gatineau is centred on an area formerly known as Hull. The city is a culturally diverse one and home to several federal government offices as well as major attractions such as the Canadian Museum of History and the Casino du Lac-Leamy. Many working people, especially federal government employees, live in Gatineau and commute to Ottawa and vice-versa.
