Located in the heart of Hintonburg, the Eddy is a new condominium project from Windmill Development Group Ltd. and is scheduled for completion this year. The building is an example of exciting new growth coming to Ottawa’s Hintonburg neighbourhood, a quiet residential area between downtown and Westboro. The new project is expected to have a total of 52 units and 6 storeys, a welcome alternative to the high-rise condos Ottawa has seen appearing on the market recently.

The suites range in price from just over $200,000 to over $630,000, depending on the style and size of the selected unit. Parking and storage are available for an additional $35,000 and $32,000, respectively. Buyers can select suites in a wide range of floor plans and sizes, from studio apartments available under 500 square feet, up to two-bedroom or two-bedroom plus den units offering well over 1,000 square feet. According to the Eddy’s website, each unit is completely unique, offering residents the rare benefit of owning a one-of-a-kind home while still maintaining a condominium lifestyle.
Smart, healthy living is promoted by the new building. In addition to a host of bold design features that make the condos stand out against others in the area, the building is also taking innovative steps to make it one of the greenest condo developments in the country. Geothermal heating and cooling, the use of sustainable wood, low-flow faucets, and environmentally-conscious fittings in the kitchens and baths are all a part of this effort. The units also feature the healthiest possible paints, adhesives, and other building materials, and include individual heat recovery ventilators in each suite to bring in fresh air from outside rather than from hallways and other shared spaces.
One of the most unique features of the Eddy is its puzzle parking garage system, which is designed to ensure that cars never run inside the building and exhaust never contaminates the air. A mechanical system stores and stacks your car, then automatically recalls it when you need it. The system promotes a healthier lifestyle while also maximizing safety, convenience, and living space inside the building. The system is also an efficient and environmentally-conscious effort from the condo to help integrate the building into the urban community of Hintonburg.
The neighbourhood is one of Ottawa’s fastest-growing urban locations, with several new initiatives for the area announced in recent months. New restaurants, condo developments, businesses, and urban transit options, including Ottawa’s LRT, are planned for this neighbourhood. These proposed additions will complement the existing highlights of the area, including several unique shops, eateries, bakeries, and pubs. Hintonburg offers residents all the perks of urban living, with just the right amount of natural environments and quaint residential streets to help make the area feel like a close-knit community.
