Almost daily, I get the question about what exactly separates one unit from the other. I took a little trek over to the Mondrian which is still under construction to show what is keeping the elephants out!

The East Market condominium complex is comprised of three inter-connected phases with a total of 409 homes, including two different gym facilities, patio and garden areas, two party/event rooms, games lounge, and a meeting room. The three phases corner the east side of the Byward Market making them a short walk to all amenities possible. Built by Urban Capital, most of the units in the three phases have features typically found in loft buildings such as exposed concrete pillars and high +9ft ceilings (as seen at bottom).

Last week I took a tour of the remaining condominium units at 90 George Street. The above 3.5 million dollar view is from the northwest penthouse, a two story crown jewel that tops the 104 unit building. The unit itself is currently under construction hence the lack of interior pictures, but I can tell you that of the features that have been decided include a floating staircase, large wine cellar, enormous walk in shower, full unit speaker system throughout the unit, and much more. Don’t forget this is all on top of the building’s already high standards, and “cosmopolitan luxury” does not give it justice. Rumored to be Ottawa’s equivalent of the infamous Trump Towers, most can dream to attain such an address.

Today I was able to tour the units at 200 Besserer street (corner of Cumberland), also known as “The Galleria”. Built by Richcraft,the 12 floor building contains 149 units mixed mainly with one bedroom, one bedroom plus studio, two bedrooms, and two bedrooms plus studio. The smallest unit, the Holgate, is 615 sq. ft. compared to the largest units, Harris and the Jackson both 1,135 sq.ft. aproximately.  Prices for the units range from $279,943 for the Holgate (one bedroom 615 sqft) on the 10th floor to $473,747 for the 12th floor Jackson (two bedroom plus study 1,135 sqft). Don’t forget parking is an additional $27,500 for the third floor, or $30,000 for the first and second floor.

The units themselves feature “higher ceilings” (basically vary by unit - some up to 10ft!), full hardwood, ceramic tile, and berber carpet, six appliances, and lavish bathrooms. The finishing touches are currently being put on the units, so there are not any interior pictures, but you can take my word that the finishes in the building were impressive. The recreation area and pool are quite large compared to the surrounding condo buildings. As well the entrance and hallways were equally as impressive and created a grand feeling as I toured the building.

Over the last couple weeks the lower floors have been starting the final inspections, allowing the owners a chance to see the units. Below are some photos (sorry about the quality), that the owners have taken. I continue to be impressed with the building.

Rental prices are beginning to pop up, anywhere from $1,450 per month for a one bedroom and the prices go up from there (Parking of course is extra!).

One of the things I love about Westboro is the sense of community, which was very evident this past weekend while I walked around Westfest which was located at the feet of an exciting new condominium development. Westboro Station is developed by Bourk Family Developments and Morley Hoppner Group, and is going to add more of that community feeling to the area, which will make the area even more appealing. Barry J. Hobin & Associates were the chosen Architects for the 150 unit, two mid rise residential towers which pays homage to the old train station that stood in that same area (see below).

Phase One of the development is almost completed and speaking to owners who are about to take possession, you can tell the excitement level is very high. Being able to live in one of Barry Hobin’s buildings, is certainly something to be proud of. He has won many awards for his buildings and homes, and is referred to as Ottawa’s only “celebrity architect”.

Take a look at the current progress of Phase one of the Westboro Station development which I took over the weekend.

Phase Two of the Westboro Station development has yet to start construction so take a look at the plans below and the attached Specification Sheets, Floor Plans, and Price List. (Keep in mind that the plan below has north facing up and the bottom rendition has north facing down)

As someone who spends many days in Westboro, I am very excited for this development to be completed! For more or updated information make sure to visit the sales center located at 416 Richmond Road.
