Modern Condos are selling like hotcakes in Ottawa

I attended the Urbaina VIP Event last Thursday to see the new model suite for phase 2 of the Central condo project: Central 2, from Urban Capital. The place was buzzing with people. There was a serious line up to get in and people were there to buy.

I also got a chance to meet David Wex, co-owner of Urban Capital, who explained that a lot of the people who came to the event were people who didn't get a chance to buy the first time around (Phase 1). He also felt that there would be a good chance that a portion of guests present that evening would have to reserve space for phase 3 since the condos were selling so fast! I wasn't there long and already a lot of red dots were on the plans.




Central 2 will be located at the corner of Bank and McLeod. The building is designed to have a low carbon footprint, be very stylish and affordable. The Central building and units themselves are projected to be LEED-Silver certified with eco-friendly features including a green roof, a rainwater storage system, energy-efficient windows, sustainable materials, and even a car share program.

The suite showcased during the event was modeled after the "Brampton" unit, a one bedroom + den unit, slightly over 600 square feet. All units come fully loaded with five-star energy-efficient stainless steel appliances,engineered hardwood floors, huge windows that flood rooms with natural light, custom-designed European kitchens and bathrooms, and exposed concrete ceilings. In the bathroom, the cabinets provide maximum storage (similar to the re hotel and residences) and nice finishes. I also like how they eliminated the handles of the upper cabinets in the kitchen by using taller doors that can be opened from the bottom, giving the kitchen a clean look.
