Minto Metropole, Residential skyscraper in Westboro, Ottawa, Canada
Minto Metropole is a residential skyscraper in Westboro with 33 floors rising 108 meters (354 feet) high. The building houses 153 condominium units and features postmodern design with a slender vertical profile.
Construction began in 2003 when original plans for multiple waterfront towers were transformed into a single tall structure. This shift in direction reshaped how the building came to be designed and realized.
The residential complex reflects the transformation of Ottawa's urban landscape by incorporating postmodern design elements into its architectural composition.
The location near Westboro Station offers convenient public transportation access for residents and visitors heading to the area. Walking around the neighborhood makes it easy to reach shops, restaurants, and the nearby riverfront.
The tower's slim profile was deliberately designed to preserve sightlines toward the Ottawa River, a result of community input during planning. This consideration shows how local voices shaped the building's final form.
