203 Catherine St Ottawa Soba Condos

SoBa Condos is a new condo development by Lamb Development Corp. and Fortress Real Developments currently in preconstruction at 203 Catherine St in Ottawa. The development is scheduled for completion in 2016. Sales for available units range in price from $250,543 to $814,857. The development has a total of 240 units

The idea behind SoBa is “South on Bank” – or, SoBa. Not just a condo development, rather a movement to redeem a barren part of Ottawa’s Centre Town. Wedged between the QE highway, the Glebe to the south, and Ottawa’s Centre Town and downtown north, SoBa is an area ripe for reinvention. SoBa the project is all that. It will single-handedly redeem the area. Rising 23 floors, the three oscillating residential zones play with the eye and offer something of beauty to an area long denied of such a thing. SoBa houses 240 suites.
