This week saw the end of an era with the demolition of Bank Street's Metropolitan Bible Church, making way for downtown Ottawa's latest condo development, Central:
Courtesy of a heritage designation, the church's Bank St facade will be left intact and form the centerpiece of Central's resident lounge, complete with WiFi, billiards and a media room for movies and other big screen events.
I like what I've seen so far at The Mondrian so am optimistic that Urban Capital's latest condo will breathe new life into this part of Ottawa's mid-town, as well as providing a bridge between The Glebe and downtown proper. More on Central to follow in a subsequent post.
