Place de Ville is a large group of office buildings in downtown Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It includes four office towers: Place de Ville A, B, and C. There is also a building called the 'Podium'. This complex also has two big hotels. These are the Delta Ottawa City Centre and the Ottawa Marriott Hotel. All the buildings are connected by an underground shopping area. Place de Ville C is the tallest building in Ottawa. It was once called "Ottawa's shining answer" to other famous buildings like the Toronto-Dominion Centre and Place Ville Marie.
Getting Around Place de Ville
Since September 14, 2019, you can easily reach Place de Ville using the Confederation Line train. The Lyon Station is located underground, right between the two main parts of Place de Ville. One entrance to the station is inside the Podium building. Another entrance is found within the underground shopping area.
The complex also has a very large underground parking garage. It has space for 974 cars. This is the biggest parking garage in the city.
What's Next for Place de Ville
Brookfield Properties now manages Place de Ville. They have plans to make some changes. They want to replace the four-story 'Podium' building with a new 19-floor office tower. A two-story walkway would connect this new building to Tower C. This new link would also have wider and brighter escalators leading to the underground shopping area.
Brookfield also owns a large parking lot across Kent Street. This lot might also see new construction. There are plans to build over 500,000 square feet of office space there. The parking lot will be partly closed during the building of the Confederation Line. This is so builders can use it as a work area. It will also be a central spot for digging the subway part of the system.
