LARGE-SCALE PROJECT EXPERIENCE

 

Lebreton Flats, Aqueduct District | Ottawa, Ontario 

The Aqueduct District is a signature component of the LeBreton Flats Master Concept Plan, envisioned as a vibrant, mixed-use destination anchored by the historic aqueduct and its surrounding public realm. Positioned next to the future Major Events Centre, the district has the potential to become one of Ottawa’s most dynamic new urban neighbourhoods—bringing together housing, cultural uses, retail, and year-round public spaces in a way that celebrates the site’s heritage and waterfront setting.
