Description

Live where the capital comes alive. Over 600 sq ft of modern design in a spacious 1-bedroom at Zibi, with a rare double-wide balcony built for morning coffee and long summer evenings. Parliament views, a 10/10 rooftop terrace, and an address straddling the Ottawa-Gatineau downtown core. Step out to the future arena, transit, riverfront paths, cafes and nightlife - the car becomes optional. Bright, efficient, turnkey, and set in the region's most ambitious new waterfront community. This is the location everyone else is still waiting on.

Zero-carbon energy The building runs on the Zibi District Energy System (SEQ). Heating comes from recovered thermal energy off the Kruger tissue mill next door. Cooling comes from the Ottawa River. That's it - a highly efficient, zero-carbon utility running on renewable energy. Zibi is the first community in North America to use post-industrial waste energy recovery, built around a zero-carbon One Planet objective. It's the question buyers will be asking in five years. This building already answers it.

In the building Underground parking. Dedicated bike racks for the people who'd rather ride. Full gym. And the rooftop terrace.

A day here: You wake up to real light and the Ottawa River and the skyline in front of you. Gym downstairs. Coffee and a pastry from an artisanal bakery a few minutes on foot. Then you pick your city - walk or bike across the bridge into downtown Ottawa, or take the waterfront path past Chaudière Falls.

Weekends, the car stays in the garage. The Canadian Museum of History is a walk. So are the restaurants, the cafés, Bluesfest, Winterlude. Borderless, pedestrian, and the nature and the downtown are both right there.

The investment case: This is where urban real estate is heading. Master-planned community, zero-carbon footprint, a district energy system nobody else has. Buyers and renters are actively shopping for sustainable housing, and this one delivers it without giving up an inch of luxury. Premium low-maintenance finishes, efficient waste diversion, and a location sitting on the border of two downtowns. Steps from the job hubs, transit and the culture. Turnkey, and built to stay relevant.
