The Residence
Inside, the unit features an open-concept layout designed for both comfort and style.

The Neighbourhood
Located at the corner of Carling and Preston, The Icon stands as the gateway to Ottawa’s Little Italy. Just steps away, Preston Street offers some of the city’s best dining and nightlife—espresso bars, gelato shops, and trattorias mix with upscale restaurants and cozy pubs. The area also features modern Canadian and international cuisine, reflecting Ottawa’s vibrant cultural diversity.
Directly across the street, Dow’s Lake and Commissioners Park provide a lush natural escape right in the city. Residents can walk or cycle along the Rideau Canal pathways, paddle on the lake in summer, or skate the world-famous canal in winter. The park also hosts the annual Canadian Tulip Festival, one of the city’s most iconic spring events.
Lansdowne Park, just a short walk or bike ride away, offers year-round entertainment with the Ottawa Farmers’ Market, concerts, sporting events at TD Place, and seasonal festivals. Italian Week Ottawa, which takes over Preston Street each summer, adds to the neighbourhood’s rich community atmosphere.
Transit and Accessibility
Commuting from The Icon is simple and efficient. The Dow’s Lake O-Train Station is a short walk from the building, connecting residents to Carleton University, downtown Ottawa, and the soon-to-be-completed extension to the south end of the city. Multiple OC Transpo bus routes run along Carling and Preston, and cycling commuters can access the NCC pathway network that links to the Glebe, Centretown, and downtown core.
Everyday Convenience
Daily essentials are easy to find nearby. Groceries, pharmacies, fitness studios, and boutique shops are all within walking distance. Whether grabbing a morning latte, meeting friends for dinner, or catching a show at Lansdowne, you’ll find everything you need just minutes from your front door.
