Claridge Icon, Residential skyscraper in Little Italy, Ottawa, Canada.
Claridge Icon is a 45-story residential skyscraper in Ottawa's Little Italy with curved balconies and a glass exterior. The complex includes ground floor retail space and two floors of commercial facilities alongside the residential units.
The project marks a turning point in Ottawa's urban planning, as it was among the first major towers in a neighborhood once defined by low-rise structures. This development initiated the vertical transformation of the Little Italy area.
The building sits within a neighborhood known for dining establishments and cultural institutions that shape daily life. Its location places residents near local shops and gathering spaces that define the district's character.
Visitors can view the building from outside and explore the proximity to nearby lakes and the surrounding neighborhood. There is easy access to adjacent restaurants, retail areas, and public spaces in the immediate vicinity.
The asymmetrically arranged curved balconies create different visual patterns depending on the viewing angle and time of day. This optical movement makes the building particularly interesting to observe from various positions throughout the neighborhood.
