In the heart of downtown Ottawa, 360 Laurier is redefining urban living by blending sustainability, convenience, and modern design. As CLV Group’s latest office-to-residential conversion, this creative project embodies a forward-thinking approach to development, prioritizing environmental preservation, economic growth, and proximity to amenities. This project highlights CLV Group’s dedication to building a stronger, more connected future for the Ottawa community.

Office-to-Residential Conversions

Conversion projects are inherently sustainable, since you are converting an existing building rather than demolishing it and starting anew. Reusing underused or vacant office buildings prevents thousands of tonnes of concrete from being wasted. Not to mention, conversions save over 50% of the carbon required in a ground-up construction project. 

Economic Development

In addition to being a sustainably-minded development, 360 Laurier aims to meet the present needs of tenants and the city. We at CLV Group have experienced professionals who can identify underutilized buildings in desirable locations. The transit score and proximity to amenities make specific locations more desirable for residential property development. 

Proximity to the LRT

Another important aspect of the 360 Laurier project is that the Parliament LRT station is only three and a half blocks away. With the recent expansion and addition to the LRT, future residents of 360 will enjoy easy access to all parts of the city. Creating more homes near the LRT is also beneficial as it can contribute to increased ridership, improving the city’s return on investment in public transit. Currently, the LRT can travel from the city's heart to the suburbs and the airport, reducing the need for a personal vehicle and further showcasing CLV Group’s vision for sustainability. 

Popular Bike Paths

360 Laurier is also close to many bike paths for avid cyclists. Located on the Laurier Avenue bike paths, the building offers cyclists hundreds of kilometres of bike paths throughout the city. Considering the Laurier bike path has been around for over a decade, it remains a popular choice for cyclists and building more housing nearby encourages residents to utilize bike paths or other sustainable modes of transportation. 

Heart of Downtown

Lastly, 360 Laurier is located in the heart of downtown, offering proximity to many shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues. Creating additional apartments in the downtown core brings increased foot traffic to the area at all times of day, supporting the local businesses and attractions.

Sustainable Building Practices

CLV Group prides itself on integrating sustainable practices within our projects, both in new construction and retrofitting / renovations. Some of these practices include:

• Installing car charging stations
• Upgrading to eco-friendly appliances
• Installing solar lights
• Reusing wasted heat through a process called micro-cogeneration

Our team is passionate about integrating sustainable elements wherever possible, including energy-efficient technologies such as timed lightbulbs or smart thermostats throughout offices and residences. 

Forward-Thinking Approach

360 Laurier is more than just a residential conversion. It’s a testament to CLV Group’s commitment to sustainable development, innovative design, and community-focused living. By repurposing existing infrastructure and integrating green initiatives, this project reduces environmental impact while enhancing the quality of life for its residents. With its prime downtown location, proximity to transit and bike paths, and eco-conscious features, 360 Laurier sets a new standard for urban living in Ottawa.
