New life coming to the oldest mall in the Outaouais
Developer Brigil purchases Village Place Cartier and announces plans to renovate.
Gatineau's Village Place Cartier shopping centre and parking lot will get a breath of new life in the coming years.
Real-estate developer Brigil purchased the lot and plans to revitalize it, the company announced Tuesday.
Village Place Cartier was the first shopping centre in the Outaouais area, established in 1965 on Saint-Joseph Boulevard near Saint-Raymond Boulevard.
In recent years the mall has seen a slump in retail sales, and some of its businesses have closed their doors.
Redevelopment work could start in early spring and would hopefully be done by July 2020, Brigil president Gilles Desjardins said in an interview in French Tuesday.
