Positioned steps to Rideau Centre, the University of Ottawa, Parliament Hill, O-Train station, and the ByWard Market, this location is ideal for boutique urban residential projects, purpose-built rentals, or luxury multi-unit builds. Ground-floor commercial uses are also permitted, including retail, office, or café-style activation, making it ideal for mixed-use development. Situated on York Street -soon to be transformed into a pedestrian-priority shared promenade (2025 - 2027) as part of Ottawa's ByWard Market Public Realm Plan - this site offers rare exposure and long-term upside. No demolition needed - immediate time and cost savings for developers. Buyers are responsible for their own due diligence regarding development options, building code compliance, and site planning.
