Ottawa’s Centretown neighbourhood is one of the most popular areas of the city for home buyers, particularly those looking to purchase a new condo. Centretown offers not only the convenience of downtown amenities like easily accessible transit and a vast selection of neighbourhood shops and restaurants, but also all the benefits of living in the nation’s capital. From museums and Canadian landmarks to beautifully maintained urban parks, Ottawa provides its downtown residents with an exciting and picturesque place to live. And with plenty of new condominiums currently planned for Centretown, potential buyers have a wide range of buildings they can choose from.
Ottawa Buyers Looking for Downtown Lifestyle
As more buyers look to call Centretown home, Urban Capital Property Group and Tamarack Homes have responded with Central, a three-phase condo development in the heart of Ottawa’s downtown. Designed to provide resort-style living in the middle of the city, the three separate buildings have proved attractive to downtown buyers and earlier phases of the project are currently sold out. The final phase, Hideaway at Central, is currently under construction and is expected to welcome buyers to their new homes in 2015.
Hideaway suites offer several different floor plans for potential residents, starting at 435 square feet for a studio unit and reaching 863 square feet for a penthouse suite. With a total of 164 units, there’s a floor plan available to suit all types of buyers. Prices for suites range from $221,900 to $430,900 depending on the size and style of unit. Parking is available for an additional cost of $35,000. Units include open-concept style kitchens with Energy-Star rated appliances, and bathrooms featuring custom-designed shelving and vanities and ceramic tile flooring.
The 9 storey building blends effortlessly into the surrounding area, with a modern brick and glass exterior designed by CORE Architects. Residents can rest easy knowing that the building includes security cameras and a fob-based access system at all entry points. Further, Hideaway is considered one of Ottawa’s greenest condos, with environmentally-friendly materials and energy-efficient operation.
Centretown Amenities with Resort-Style Living
While all the conveniences of downtown are just outside your doorstep at Hideaway, the building itself also provides several amenities for buyers. Inside, residents can entertain guests in either the lounge/party room, which includes a kitchen and direct access to an outdoor patio. There’s also a fully-equipped exercise room available, including free weights, weight machines, and state-of-the-art cardio equipment. For those who prefer the outdoors, a heated, Caribbean-inspired swimming pool is provided, surrounded by private cabanas. Hideaway also offers an outdoor barbecue, bar, and dining area for private functions.
