Overview
James House is the new next thing from Urban Capital and the Taggart Group, partners in trend-setting, high-design condominiums since their first collaboration, the East Market, in 2001. With only 127 "new-loft" style units, this boutique-sized development takes urban condominium living in Ottawa to the next level, with suites that newly push the envelope in terms of interior design and feel beautiful yet functional amenities and a very handsome street presence.
Located one block north of UC and Taggart's three-phase Central development, amongst Ottawa's most popular condominium addresses, and designed by Toronto's architectural powerhouse, RAW Design, James House will set a new standard fr urban living in Ottawa.
Project Features
A Place To Meet Up, And One To Chill Out
In acknowledging what matters most to today's urban dweller, James House offers amenity spaces that combine function with purpose and aesthetics with utility. James House's amenity package starts with its shared lounge. Meant to be an extension of your living room, it is centred around a fireplace clad in hot rolled steel, with plush seating and a communal table, for getting some work done amid other residents, hosting a party for friend or family, or just hanging out.
All, of course, when the time comes that we can do that again. Beyond the lounge is a linear zen-like garden, with a ling brick screen to the lane behind, creating a play of light and plantings, perfect for a contemplative moment. Meant as a place of serenity, it could be your place of escape in a busy world.
Poolside, Perched High
We stretched ourselves so you could too. So if lounging by a rooftop pool perched high above Centretown is your idea of a good time, then James House is for you. The building's heated salt-water pool, in striking mosaic tiles, is perfect for a refreshing morning swim or weekday evening lounge. Or why not plan a "staycation" around it. Regardless, this is the place to stretch out, relax and rejuvenate.

Location
Ottawa's Eclectic Strip
An iconic street and (at 70km) the city's most extended, Bank Street and Ottawa, are synonymous. A road that changes its vibe as it transitions from the city's bussing downtown through its various residential and mixed-used neighbourhoods, it's where the early 20th Century city meets today's world in an eclectic assortment of uses, styles, and flavours. And for precisely these reasons, Bank Street and its surrounding area have beckoned Urban Capital as its kind of place. A street loaded with all sorts of possibilities and home - and neighbourhood - where you can live and build a life.
