The Must-See Gardens and Terraces of Le Groupe Maurice
What sets Le Groupe Maurice residences apart? Prime locations, top-notch services, awesome communal spaces… and stunning outdoor areas! Think vibrant gardens, cozy terraces and views guaranteed to take your breath away. These gorgeous green spaces are like an extra room outside your apartment. Let’s take a tour of some of our favourite gardens and terraces – the perfect spots that make life a little brighter for our residents.
VÜ: Nature in the heart of the city
The VÜ residence in Sherbrooke certainly lives up to its name. From its 5,000 square-foot rooftop terrace, residents enjoy an exceptional panorama, surrounded by landscaped gardens overlooking lovely Lac des Nations.
But things turn really spectacular in July when the lake hosts the Grands Feux de la Fête du Lac des Nations fireworks competition. The rooftop terrace becomes the premiere spot to watch the sky come alive with an epic display of pyrotechnics that are absolutely breathtaking.
Sevä: A natural garden like no other
In Candiac, the Sevä residence flourishes at the heart of a rare natural haven: a 624,000 square-foot developed marshland. This peaceful oasis, traversed by pedestrian paths and dotted with observation points, is a place where nature is both respected and protected.
As a matter of fact, while building Sevä in 2018, Le Groupe Maurice took great care to preserve this unique environment, which is home to a fragile ecosystem. And nature repaid their efforts: during the construction process, a pair of geese made their home near the site, nesting their eggs in peace and tranquility until they hatched, all under the watchful eye of our team.
Le Gibraltar: A terrace with endless possibilities
At the heart of the Saint-Sacrement neighbourhood in Quebec City, you’ll find the Le Gibraltar rooftop terrace. This sun-kissed space is the choice location for all gatherings. Whether it’s celebrating Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day with a lively dance or harvesting fresh salads and tomatoes for dinner, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
A place for celebrations and quiet moments alike, this esplanade overlooks the city and offers a new perspective on the “Gibraltar of America.” Residents come here to share a drink with neighbours or challenge each other to a game of pétanque. Out here, community life thrives.
Elogia: Gardens and terraces meet Olympic grandeur
Let’s head to Montreal to explore another stunning vantage point. With superb views of the iconic Olympic Stadium, home to the world’s largest leaning tower, the terraces of the Elogia residence offer a new perspective.
When the weather’s warm, these expansive outdoor spaces transform into an open-air theater: a blooming promenade in the morning, a cozy reading nook in the afternoon and an unbeatable spot to take in the views at night. Elogia’s gardens and terraces are a must-see: the ideal venues to enjoy the Old Port fireworks or watch a gorgeous sunset.
ORA: A truly elevated retirement
Tucked away in Montreal’s Ahuntsic neighbourhood, the ORA residence boasts a breathtaking rooftop terrace that serves as a scenic urban lookout with views of Mount Royal. This thoughtfully designed space seamlessly combines nature and luxury living, featuring a cozy lounge area, outdoor gym and lush greenery – the perfect setting for relaxation under the Montreal sky.
ORA offers more than just a pretty panorama; it also makes life wonderfully easy for residents. With a grocery store, pharmacy and restaurant all built right in, residents enjoy direct access to everyday essentials and amenities. It’s a perfect blend of simple pleasures and urban luxuries.
Ékla: An intimate indoor garden retreat
The Ékla residence in Quebec City shines with its bright spaces and enviable location. It’s just a short walk from large parks and major shopping centers like Centre Laurier Québec and Place Sainte-Foy, which are conveniently located right across the street.
But Ékla’s beauty doesn’t stop there. It also has a hidden gem: a charming interior garden. With mature trees, swings and a serene river running through it, this tranquil oasis is the supreme spot to unwind and recharge.
Vast: Bringing pure nature indoors
At Vast, nature is woven into daily life. The residence is surrounded by mature trees and stunning outdoor spaces, creating a serene green oasis where every step promotes relaxation and well-being. Meandering paths wind through welcoming stops such as tables, gentle swings, shaded nooks… and lead to a crystal-clear waterfall, crossed by a charming bridge with a vintage charm.
Here, days unfold to the rhythm of pétanque or shuffleboard. Residents gather to observe, chat and savour the moment. Whether alone, as a couple, with friends or with family, everyone can find their place. Come discover yours!
Cornelius: Where Montreal unfolds below
At Cornelius, the heart of Montreal beats in every nook and cranny. From the heights of the residence, an unbeatable view unfolds to the south: Mount Royal and the Saint Joseph’s Oratory stand as a reassuring presence, and further away, the obelisk of the University of Montreal adds an elegant touch to the skyline.
The landscaped rooftop terraces are beautifully designed, offering a vibrant yet serene atmosphere. With swings, disc games and inviting tables, you’ll find everything you need to enjoy the sunshine in a lush and peaceful environment.
Whether it’s watching the sunset, sharing a coffee with friends or finding a moment’s peace in the shade of a tree, the gardens and terraces of Le Groupe Maurice are more than mere outdoor spaces. They’re vibrant hubs of life, connection and freedom, where every moment feels truly special.
