About Centretown

Centretown has been Ottawa's downtown residential neighbourhood since the city's early days, with heritage buildings dating to the late 1800s alongside modern high-rise developments. The neighbourhood's mix of housing types reflects its long history and ongoing evolution.

The area includes charming Victorian row houses, classic Ottawa brick homes, mid-century apartment buildings, and contemporary condominiums. This diversity creates varied renovation opportunities, from heritage restoration to modern condo updates.

Centretown's urban density presents unique construction challenges, including limited site access, parking restrictions, and coordination with neighbouring properties. Successful contractors understand how to work effectively in this demanding environment.
