About Centrepointe
Centrepointe was designed to be Nepean's 'downtown,' a self-contained community projected to cost $700 million in development. After CMHC faced budget cuts and sold the land, Ottawa's largest housing developer Minto Group built a wide range of homes from townhouses to large upscale houses starting in 1984.
The neighbourhood's centerpiece is Ben Franklin Place, named for the former mayor of Nepean. This civic complex houses the Centrepointe Branch of the Ottawa Public Library, the locally renowned Centrepointe Theatre, and the former Nepean City Hall (now satellite offices for the City of Ottawa).
The Centrepointe Community Association was formed on February 4, 2006 to represent and advance neighbourhood interests. The planned community design created small strip-mall shops, restaurants, offices, and a civic square, making Centrepointe relatively self-contained.
Location & Boundaries
Centrepointe is bounded by Baseline Road to the north, Woodroffe Avenue to the east, the CN railroad to the south, and the Briargreen subdivision and Forest Ridge Apartments to the west. Located in College Ward in the former City of Nepean.
