Where Heritage Meets Modern Living

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.

Artefact on Argyle Hits New Height as Crane Goes Up

The crane is now in place at the Artefact on Argyle site, marking the shift from groundwork to structure. This milestone reflects years of planning and teamwork coming to life. Stay tuned for more updates as the building rises!

We’re excited to share a major milestone in our construction journey — the final ground floor slab has now been poured, marking the completion of foundational work for the project. With this important step finalized, vertical construction is now underway and the building is starting to take shape above ground.

This phase brings visible progress as walls, columns, and structural elements begin to rise, bringing us one step closer to delivering this incredible community.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to build upward.

Old meets new at Artefact on Argyle.

One of the most exciting milestones on the project is now complete, as the heritage limestone façade has officially been reinstated.

Part of the property's original 1950s office building, each stone was carefully preserved before construction began and has now been reconstructed, giving the façade a second life as part of the new residential tower. It's a perfect example of how thoughtful design can honour the past while building for the future.

With construction continuing to move ahead, Artefact on Argyle is on track to welcome its first residents to its prime Centretown location this Fall.
