Well, Ottawa itself is the amazing capital of Canada and much more, so you're right to expect its condos to be outstanding. We'll come back to the extraordinary condos at 234 Rideau Street, but let's first do something like a scenic, helicopter tour over Ottawa condos in general.
In the core of downtown Ottawa, there is a very nice mix of older condo buildings and newer, very sleek developments. Most of the large scale, high profile projects are concentrated in the city's western section, but the older condos in the area are very well maintained, so great values can be had for the savvy shopper in either case.
One of the very best aspects of choosing a condo in downtown Ottawa is that you are within walking distance of practically everything that makes an urban lifestyle attractive. Ottawa's fine dining restaurants are truly world class, and they're complimented by entertainment venues which offer something for everyone in the city's wide range of residents and visitors. Also, Ottawa is situated on three rivers, the Ottawa, Gatineau and Rideau, which make the views from its condos some of the most beautiful vistas in the world. And interestingly, the world comes to Ottawa a lot.
Living and working in this center for government, technology and business is exciting. Ottawa is also a destination for world class conventions and tourism. And Ottawa has the most highly educated workforce in Canada which translates into fascinating neighbors, doesn't it?
You and your neighbors of 234 Rideau St Ottawa are also living in one of the most, if not the most sophisticated neighborhood. This demands condo floor plans that are intriguing and amenities that are noteworthy. Would you like a view from windows that are eight and half feet to over nine feet tall? These let you see the Parliament buildings, the National Gallery and the Rideau Centre as well as the lush grounds of Major's Hill Park.
Looking closer to home, you're a short walk from your condo to the famous Byward Market with its fascinating shops. Now, focusing even closer to home, how about an indoor pool and a state of the art exercise facility within your development? Many Ottawa condo developments have these amenities 'on campus' and some are within truly breathtaking buildings. In a city as stunning as Ottawa, you'll see these exceptional condos most frequently in the neighborhood where Rideau and Cumberland streets meet.
Ottawa developers consistently build first class condos, but possibly the most highly-regarded builder who invariably creates award-winning condominiums is Bill Malhota, owner and president of Claridge Homes. One of their hallmark practices is involving you in the creative process. You can select upgrades and add custom touches that will make your condo truly reflect you. Where can you do this right now? Remember 234 Rideau Street at the beginning of our time together? It may well be the best example of Condos in Ottawa - an extraordinary one.
