299 Carling Avenue. There's nowhere quite like it.
Steps from Dow's Lake. Walking distance from Little Italy. Close to the future Ottawa Civic Hospital and major transit. Vitalia Place sits at the intersection of everything Ottawa loves.
A site that waited for the right vision.
For years, this 2.8-acre corner at Carling Avenue and Lebreton Street South sat idle, a federal parking lot in one of Ottawa's most desirable locations. The land had been discussed for redevelopment for decades. It sat there, owned by the federal government, transferred eventually to Canada Lands Company, and waiting for someone to see what it could become.
Vitalia Place is that answer. And it is transforming a long-overlooked corner into an address Ottawa will know for generations.
Open water, open sky.
Vitalia Place sits steps from Dow's Lake and Commissioner's Park, Ottawa's beloved waterfront greenspace, home to the annual Tulip Festival, year-round cycling and walking paths, and one of the city's most scenic recreational corridors. The Dominion Arboretum and the Central Experimental Farm are a short walk away. The Ottawa River Pathway connects from nearby.
For residents of Vitalia Place, green space is not a weekend trip. It is the daily texture of life.
The flavour of the neighbourhood.
Preston Street, the heart of Little Italy, is a short walk from Vitalia Place. It is one of Ottawa's most walkable and culturally vibrant strips: independent restaurants, espresso bars, bakeries, neighbourhood shops, and a community character that has held its own through decades of change.
As a Vitalia Place resident, you belong to this neighbourhood. Its energy, its food, its people, all on your doorstep.
The city's most important new building is minutes away.
The Ottawa Hospital's new Civic Campus on Carling Avenue is currently under construction and expected to open in 2029. It will be one of the largest hospital campuses in Canada, a major employer, a hub for medical research, and a magnet for healthcare professionals, patients, and support services from across the region.
Vitalia Place's on-site Medical Hub was designed with this proximity in mind. For residents who work in healthcare, for those seeking world-class medical services close to home, and for the healthcare professionals who will staff the new hospital, there is no better address in Ottawa.
Connected to the whole city.
Carling Avenue is an established and growing transit corridor, with existing O-Train and bus service connecting Vitalia Place to downtown Ottawa, Centretown, and beyond. A future O-Train station on Carling will bring even greater connectivity to residents as Ottawa's transit network continues to expand.
For residents who cycle, walk, or take transit, and this neighbourhood rewards all three, Vitalia Place is one of Ottawa's most accessible addresses.
