According to Ashcroft president and developer David Choo, Q West will be Ottawa’s Georgetown--a living street, a vibrant urban experience offering venues for the city’s ongoing music festivals as it embarks on becoming part of the fabric of the city. With nine buildings offering a highly desirable mix of residential and commercial space, spread over expansive, leafy grounds, this is an unprecedented living experience on a grand scale. The Ontario municipal Board has recently given this site plan its stamp of approval meaning Q West will soon become a reality.
This 5.5 acres of property is the site of the aging convent of Les soeurs de la Visitation which will be embraced and celebrated with the preservation of its historical exterior. Inside it will be revived and revitalized into an innovation centre, the heart of Q West. Proposed uses include rentable artist space, and a health club and spa for residents of Q West and the adjoining 111 West and 101 Richmond.
From the preservation of the existing structures, to the new buildings, to the ample green space, Q West has been designed to balance beauty with functionality. It is a marvel of community planning and building design, highlighted by inviting courtyards and communal spaces, and a grand centerpiece in Abbey court, the upscale dining, shopping and leisure destination.
