This block on Front Street in Aylmer is all fenced in now, and the building looks like it will be demolished soon.

I am sure there is a proposal on the Ville de Gatineau website but it would likely be faster to ask here - what is coming?

Edit - Also, there are plans for a 6 storey building at 50 Hotel-de-ville.. right now it is zoned for only 3 storeys.

I didn't notice any construction app, but here's the demo one, which includes renders of the building at the end.

The building is supposed to go across the street, on that little parking next to laboratoire visuel.

Thanks Kelnoz! You are right, I thought 50 Hotel de ville was the other side.

Found some renders (starting at p. 11)
