more about this ottawa condo
“...noteworthy for their lightness and elegance, occasional use of curving forms, skillful detailing, and openness to natural lighting”
The design of the Glasgow condominium flats takes its inspiration from Charles Rennie Mackintosh, one of the greatest architects, designers and artists of modern times. Mackintosh’s modern interpretation of the Scottish Baronial Style finds a natural home next to the eclectic urban neighbourhood of The Glebe and close to the tulip-painted gardens of Dow’s Lake.
The Glasgow is a mid-rise “flat” - style condominium apartment building with 51 distinctive apartments ranging in size from 684 to 1400 square feet. The Glasgow is the final stage of a larger residential community by Charlesfort Developments which has brought about the rebirth of an old Ottawa neighbourhood along with the western boundary of The Glebe. Barry J. Hobin and Associates, Ottawa’s foremost residential architects have taken the Mackintosh vernacular and created an elegant, unique, and finely balanced architectural masterpiece.
Condominium apartment living does not need to mean inhabiting a bland, anonymous building. At The Glasgow, exceptional design is evident in every detail, in every room. From cabinetry to countertops, from plumbing fixtures to light light fixtures, from door hardware to faucets, all are selected with care and eye for quality and design. The architectural team of Barry J. Hobin & associates and developer/builder Charlesfort Development have created an architectural standard that will bring you pride and joy each time you return home and will surely elicit compliments from guests."
In keeping with the principles of the architect and designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh, openness and natural light are an important theme at The Glasgow. All the suites have 9 foot ceilings, open kitchens, and oversized, sound-reducing windows which offer the greatest possible views of the urban skyline. Remarkable spaces have been created without compromising efficiency. Hardwood floors in maple or oak, ceramic floors in the bathroom and laundry, and granite countertops in the kitchen and bathroom are just some of the finishes standard throughout the suites in The Glasgow.
When describing the benefits of downtown condominium living, the words convenience, excitement, and sophistication come immediately to mind. The Glasgow has all of these and more. Conveniently located just steps from Dow’s Lake and The Glebe, residents of The Glasgow have immediate access to some of the best speciality shopping in Ottawa. Enjoy the bistros, cafes and pubs of Bank Street in The Glebe or windowshop its diverse assortment of boutiques and epicurean delights - some of the best bakeries, butchers, speciality and health food shops in the city. As well, it is only a short drive to the urban delights of Elgin Street, The Byward Market and Westboro.
For an evening stroll, a short walk takes one to the tulip beds of Dow’s Lake or to the exotic gardens and arboretums of the Central Experimental Farm. For those who prefer vigorous exercise, running and cycling paths are close by.
The name “ Glebe” comes from a Scottish term meaning the lands attached to a parish church. It comes as no surprise then that The Glebe is home to many historic churches, which give the area part of its unique character. Glebe High School, one of Ottawa’s oldest secondary schools and several excellent primary schools are also within a short walking distance.
