90 George Condos

Top three Ottawa condo buildings for Young Professionals

As a young professional who is working and living in Ottawa, only the best will do. Work hard, play hard is more than just a saying for you, it's your way of life. Last thing you want, are constant complaints from your neighbour because the walls are too thin, or issues with the condo board. With over 900 condo buildings across Ottawa, we have narrowed this down to a select few. 


3. Mondrian Condos - 324 Laurier Ave. West

Mondrian, with its "rooftop" (6th floor) outdoor pool, complete with Miami-esq cabanas, large party room and concierge has been the choice of YP's looking for a place to call home.

1. SoHo Lisgar - 300 Lisgar

Soho Condos Lisgar Ottawa

SOHO Lisgar is Ottawa's second for Mastercraft Starwood. Located at 300 Lisgar, the building is very central being just off Bank St. and only a few blocks from downtown offices, Elgin St, Byward Market, Little Italy and Chinatown. The high end finishes, quality design, and first class amenities are what one would expect with the Mastercraft Starwood name.

"Timeless design, well thought out living spaces, style and flair are SoHo’s signature. We used the same high quality materials and standards demanded by our boutique hotel clientele – well-heeled jet setters, movie and rock stars, and C-level executives (CEOs, CFOs, COOs) – who demand living spaces equivalent to the comfort of expensive homes. For example, marble bathrooms with large shower stalls and rainshower head, a handshower with diverter, Floor-To-Ceiling and all-To-Wall Windows©, European appliances and Quartz countertops.

A kitchen designed with fine cabinetry you would find on a yacht or private jet, with an island, and kitchen appliances concealed behind lacquered doors. Backsplashes with glass tile and a stainless steel sink with side mounted faucet finish this stunning kitchen. 

Gluckstein designed each luxury condominium floor plan at SoHo Lisgar to accommodate fine furnishings to suit every taste and temperament. Living areas are designed for entertaining, up to 20’ wide, not the typical 10’ wide living room found in other condominium developments." (taken from developer)
