Yes, if built as proposed, they're definitely going to look very similar to the Claridge Plaza 1 and 2 buildings.

"My overall impression: Very similar to Claridge 1 and 2, but more slender and with the nice addition of more glass." Illustrations are a kind of fiction. If this is what's going up, it will look exactly like towers I and II. I think it is a shame if the city allows two more identical towers to be built. It's not as if they are architectural jewels.

is this unit still available?

Hi everyone,

Here's the latest news we've been able to gather from various sources, about Claridge Plaza 3 and 4:

Their site plan application is currently working it's way through the City of Ottawa process. Here's the high level information:

• Their proposal is to build two 28 story residential buildings, both fronting on Cumberland between Rideau and Besserer
• The complex is proposed to have 450 residential units
• There are 348 parking spaces on 6.5 levels (deep basement means lots of blasting)
• Building entrances will be at corners (Rideau & Cumberland for Claridge 3, Besserer & Cumberland for Claridge 4)
• The existing National Bank building is slated for demolition. The Dworkin Furs building is unaffected.
• Documents related to the application can be seen on the City of Ottawa website here: http://app01.ottawa.ca/postingplans/appDetails.jsf?lang=en&appId=__7TWGOM

 

Other information gleaned from their sales representatives and others:

• Ground floor podium to include 7,925 sq ft of retail space.
• Amenities for residents to include pool, saunas, fitness facilities, private lounge and 3100 sq ft outdoor terrace
• Claridge 3, on the Rideau / Cumberland half of the site, plus the ground floor podium, is slated to be built first
• Claridge 3 is slated for occupancy in 2012 (but I'll be surprised if it happens that soon)
• Claridge 4 is slated for occupancy in 2016
• Residential units range from 440 square foot studios to 1415 square foot 2 bedroom + den penthouse
• Finishes are quite conservative, similar to Claridge 1 and 2.
• Residential unit prices are in the ballpark of $400/sq ft.
• Unit prices go up $1000 per floor, with additional premium for two penthouse levels, and other levels with terraces
• Parking spots are $30k each, available with any unit except all studios and certain 1 bedroom units below 10th floor
• There is parking access off both Cumberland and Besserer. It appears the final plan is for primary access to be off Besserer, with Cumberland access ultimately serving as loading bay only. However, when Claridge 3 is complete, but before Claridge 4 is complete, the Cumberland entrance would serve as main parking access

 

Note that at this early stage, all this information is subject to change. The site plan application with the City of Ottawa is currently listed as on-hold, which often means the developer is making some amendments, though not necessarily substantial ones.

 

They also now have a sales website for the Claridge 3, located here: http://claridgehomes.com/s/ottawa/condos/plaza3/

Lastly, here's an up-to-date picture of what they're proposing to build. This is a view from the Cumberland street side - ie the positioning of the two new towers is rotated 90 degrees from Claridge 1 and 2:

My overall impression: Very similar to Claridge 1 and 2, but more slender ( due to rectangular vs L-shaped footprint) and with the nice addition of more glass (although their website is showing floor-to-ceiling windows in the interior views of the "Jetter" model, we all know this may not be what's actually built).

All in all, it looks like the differences from phases 1 and 2 will be very minor if these are built as they're proposing.

Although I can't speak for your unit in particular, in my unit (x01 in Phase 1), there are two sets of shutoff valves - one set under the bathroom counter which controls the bathroom fixtures and the laundry machine, and the other set under the kitchen sink which controls the kitchen including dishwasher. Many of the units are similar, having more than one master shut-off valve for different parts of the unit. This is because different parts of the unit is often fed from different main water risers. By the way, I think it's very smart that you're checking on the location of these, so that you know what to do in the case of an emergency.

Hello,

 

I have a question concerning the location of the mater water shut-off valve in the Navigli (x05) unit in Phase 1. 

 

There is a set of blue valves under the bathroom sink that I thought were the master water supply shut off to the entire unit, however when I shut these off they just appear to control the bathroom water supply (sink, toilet, shower).

 

Is there antother set of valves (aside from the individual shut-offs at each point) that would cut off the entire water supply to my unit in the event that I had to do so?

 

Thank you.

Hello neighbours,

I am renting out my parking space.

Secure, indoor parking. This "limited edition" space, originally sold with one of the penthouse units, is conveniently located on the P1 level, easily accessible from the elevators of The East Market phases 1, 2 and 3. Unlike many spots in the garage, this one does not involve driving through an endless maze to reach your parking spot. Plus, there are no parking spots on either side, so no worries about a neighbour opening their door and inadvertently damaging your vehicle.

Available on a month-to-month or long-term basis. The space will next be available starting May 1st, at a monthly rate of $175. Garage door remote is included.

If you're interested, you can reach me at east.market.parking@gmail.com.
