Mechanicsville Lofts by Modbox

Mechanicsville Lofts is a new low rise, six unit condo development by ModBox Developments that will be located at 92 Stonehurst Avenue in Mechanicsville area of Ottawa. ModBox is the sister company to Linebox Studio which is the Architect of the project and the creative behind the design. The building is set for completion 2017 with construction to start this summer.

Units start at $550,000 with sizes ranging from 1114sqft to 1745sqft. Each unit has a few different layout choices allowing the buyer a two-bedroom layout, one bedroom plus den layout, or a fully open concept layout (depending on the unit). Not to mention high-end european standard finishes and appliances. Each unit is equipped with a high-end Wolf all-gas range - yes, included standard at no extra charge. Unit features include 10'6" ceilings with radiant-heated polished concrete floors, high-end custom millwork, and direct access elevators into each unit. Parking is covered, above ground, and very limited - however with the central location it might not be necessary.

The building will feature a large rooftop terrace that has been designed specifically for entertaining and relaxing, with panoramic views looking over Laroche Park and of the downtown skyline.

"The Mechanicsville Lofts are inspired by the true hard lofts of New York City and the contemporary soft lofts of Toronto and Montreal. Hard lofts are spaces that were once a functional factory or warehouse and then transformed into an expansive dwelling with rugged detailing and exposed services. Contemporary soft lofts refine this concept with softer detailing, concealed ducts, plumbing and electrical services. Both versions offer high ceilings, big windows, and open concept floor plans.

Mechanicsville Lofts offers the best of both worlds: an entirely new build with all the elements of true hard lofts plus the comforts and efficiencies of well-built, modern dwellings. Building features include soaring 10'-6" ceiling heights, radiant-heated polished concrete floors, floor-to-ceiling windows, high-end custom millwork, open floor plans, and secure elevators that open directly into each unit. A large rooftop terrace overlooks Laroche Park and Ottawa’s Parliament Buildings. All this to give to you the hard loft life." -mechanicsvillelofts.ca

Two units both with the open-concept layout. Numerous layouts per unit are available for the buyer to choose from.

Same units as above except with the two bedroom, two bathroom layout.

Construction fire at the Claridge Icon site at 485 Preston St. The full article from the Ottawa Citizen is below; read the full article here. 

Hazmat call, fire at construction site doused in Little Italy
- Megan Gillis, Ottawa Citizen, August 10th 2016
A fire that ignited spray foam insulation at a Little Italy construction site has been doused and fire and air tests turned up clear, although road closures are still in place, Ottawa Fire Services said Wednesday as the afternoon commute began.

Concerns about potentially-toxic burning insulation was behind the large perimeter established around the Claridge Icon project at Carling Avenue and Preston Street after a loud noise and smoke were reported at noon, a fire service spokeswoman said.

First responders called the hazardous materials team to the scene and closed Carling Avenue from Bronson Avenue to Sherwood Drive, and Preston Street from Pamilla Street to Prince of Wales Drive. Crews have since reopened Carling.

Firefighters wore the breathing apparatus they don during working fires during the safety perimeter while police asked that people avoid the area.

Witnesses tweeted that firefighters were trying to extinguish insulation that had been applied to the foundation at the condo tower that’s under construction.

SoBa - Construction Update

With warmer weather now here, construction crews have come back and continue moving forward. Check out the above time-lapse video of the progress from yesterday at the SoBa site on Catherine st.
