Canadian real estate project: a new take-out concept for Le District Gourmet

The advent of COVID-19 has forever changed the food service and restaurant habits of Quebecers. Online ordering, delivery, and take-out are now common practice and the demand for these services is growing.

Redesign of the Gourmet District’s real estate development

In order to respond to this new need, the District Gourmet,
The Gourmet District
The District Gourmet, currently under construction in our HQ Sainte-Foy project in Quebec City, has decided to revise the original layout to add a space 100% dedicated to take-out orders. Thanks to this new take-out concept, customers will be able to order online or on site and then pick up their order in the take-out section. Moreover, if they wish, they can opt for home delivery. The space has been completely redesigned to meet the new standards of social distancing, while ensuring smooth passage through the one-way traffic.

Real estate project based on the gourmet experience: restaurants, artisans and food market

Besides going back to the drawing board with the architects to create this “take-out” space , the original concept remains the same. The Gourmet District promises a “gourmet experience”, offered both on-site and online by a variety of restaurateurs, artisans and a food market. The different menus will be available in the dining room, in the take-out area , and on the District Gourmet website. The online ordering platform will allow people to discover what the Gourmet District has to offer, as well as all its merchants.

Innovation and real estate development: a culinary experience that offers more choices

Unlike other food halls in Quebec City,
The Gourmet District
will allow people to select dishes from several artisans and market foods, in a single order. In other words, you could order sushi, your spouse could order a hamburger, your kids could order pasta and pay for it all in one transaction. This is despite the fact that your entire order comes from different independent merchants.

The Gourmet District is located in our
Sainte-Foy HQ
which is one of the flagship projects of the Capvest Group and is located in the coveted Sainte-Foy district of Quebec City, on one of the busiest avenues in the capital. This real estate project is part of a new generation of mixed-use buildings. This building is both residential and commercial and offers its community all the necessary services under one roof by grouping them into 4 districts: Gourmet, Services, Health and Residential. The unique concept of four integrated districts in a single location, in a vertical village, fosters relationships between residents, workers and visitors to the HQ, ensuring an exceptional quality of work life for companies that locate there.

The 4 districts of the Sainte-Foy HQ :

  • District Services: space available for professional offices, financial services, esthetics, hairdressing, etc.
  • Gourmet District: space available for a food market, restaurants, bakery, butcher shop, café, etc.
  • Health District: 2 full floors for health professionals with a clinic.
  • Residential District: 121 apartments in PPE.
