TRAILSIDE IN LAURENTIAN VALLEY: A NEW VISION FOR COMMUNITY, WELLNESS, AND RECREATION A new kind of community is emerging in Laurentian Valley—one designed not only to meet housing needs, but to become a destination for outdoor living, wellness, and connection to nature. Trailside is a 189-acre master-planned development led by Creative Dev Ventures (CDV), blending multi-generational living with access to trails, green space, and amenities that support health and quality of life. Anchored by direct access to the 296-kilometre Ottawa Valley Recreational Trail,Trailside invites year-round activity—from walking and biking to snowmobiling and crosscountry skiing. Surrounded by forest and nearby waterways, the site is poised to become a hub for residents and visitors seeking an active lifestyle. Located along Jean Avenue and TV Tower Road, the site also includes an active sand pit—presenting an opportunity for creative rehabilitation in the future. “Trailside is about more than adding homes,” says Carina Guzmán, President of Creative Dev Ventures.“It’s about shaping a place where people can live well—connected to nature, to each other, and to opportunities for health and enjoyment.” Creative Dev Ventures brings a strategic and collaborative approach to land development, balancing planning expertise with long-term community value.The firm specializes in guiding complex projects from concept to completion, aligning investor, municipal, and design priorities. The vision for Trailside includes a variety of residential options that reflect the area’s evolving needs, offering living environments for all ages and lifestyles. Early planning also considers the potential for wellness, recreational, and small-scale commercial spaces that align with the character of the community. “Pembroke and Laurentian Valley already offer incredible natural beauty and small-town livability,” says Guzmán.“Our role is to amplify that—to create something intentional, integrated, and built for how people want to live today.” As planning progresses, Creative Dev Ventures is inviting residents, local business owners, and stakeholders to share their input through a short community survey, available here. CDV also welcomes expressions of interest from partners in housing, wellness, recreation, and hospitality who want to contribute to a project rooted in quality of place and lasting impact.
