Colonnade BridgePort Breaks Ground for 12-Storey Boutique Residential Tower on Argyle Avenue

OTTAWA, November 12, 2024 — Colonnade BridgePort has officially broken ground on its latest development, Artefact on Argyle, located at 100 Argyle Avenue in Ottawa’s Centretown community. Developed by co-owners Claridge Real Estate Investments and the CBP Real Estate Fund, in partnership with CBP Development and construction lead Morley Hoppner, this 12-storey, 127-unit boutique residential tower will bring a distinctive living experience to the area.

“We couldn’t have asked for more like-minded, well-established, and highly regarded partners to work with us to bring this project to life,” said Senior Vice President Development Kelly Rhodenizer. “Artefact on Argyle will be a unique product for Ottawa’s current residential landscape, geared to those looking for a sophisticated urban-centric lifestyle. We look forward to bringing this project to market and adding housing to the city.”

Artefact on Argyle, whose name and design are inspired by the site’s location adjacent to the Canadian Museum of Nature, will be built on a site previously occupied by a 1950’s era three-storey office building. To uphold the heritage of the site, CBP Development has preserved the original stone façade which will be reconstructed it in its entirety, expertly tying into the architectural design of the new tower.

Featuring a mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom suites, and offering a wide range of amenities, Artefact on Argyle will welcome tenants in Fall 2026.

Artefact on Argyle is the first project in Colonnade BridgePort’s $2B development pipeline to get underway, with other major projects slated to commence over the next two years.
