169 Lisgar Apartments is the result of a strategic and sustainable office-to-residential conversion, reimagining a commercial property to meet the growing demand for upscale, centrally located housing. This project showcases thoughtful construction management and innovative design, preserving the integrity of the original structure while transforming it into a modern, comfortable living environment.
Each of the spacious units is equipped with in-suite washers, dryers, dishwashers, and self-controlled central air conditioning. The project team prioritized resident convenience and comfort, incorporating secure key card access for all building entrances and elevators. High-efficiency windows were installed, allowing natural light to flood in while offering stunning views of downtown Ottawa. The transformation also included the addition of a fitness center and a rooftop patio, enhancing the building's amenities and creating a unique urban oasis.
The construction process involved extensive reconfiguration of interior spaces, updating mechanical systems to support residential use, and ensuring all finishes met high standards of luxury and sustainability. The original ceiling heights were maintained, creating airy and spacious apartments with 9-foot ceilings that blend the historic with the contemporary.
169 Lisgar Apartments is ideally located just steps from the lively Elgin Street, with Ottawa’s best restaurants, bars, shopping, and iconic landmarks like Parliament Hill, the Rideau Canal, and ByWard Market at your doorstep. This strategic location offers unparalleled access to the city’s major business and retail districts, OC Transpo routes, and Highway 417, providing residents with seamless connectivity to the entire city.
