The Sussex – A Landmark Address in the Capital

The Sussex stands as one of Ottawa’s most iconic residences, a landmark building established nearly 50 years ago along the ceremonial route overlooking the Peace Tower, Embassy Row, and the majestic Ottawa River. With only 44 exclusive residences, The Sussex offers an intimate sense of community while providing the scale and grandeur of a premier address.

This particular residence boasts approximately 1,850 sq. ft. of thoughtfully designed living space, finished with refined details that highlight both elegance and functionality. From the moment you enter, the spacious foyer sets the tone with tray ceilings, layered trim and mouldings, and handsome dark-toned hardwood floors. The home’s layout strikes a balance between formal and casual living, offering a grand living room ideal for entertaining or quiet evenings, a bright breakfast area, and a formal dining room that lends itself perfectly to gatherings. The upscale kitchen boasts ample storage and timeless finishes, striking a perfect balance between style and practicality.

The private quarters are equally impressive. The primary suite is generously scaled, with a dramatic presence enhanced by sweeping river views. A beautifully organized walk-in closet and a spa-inspired ensuite bathroom complete the retreat, while additional baths are well-appointed with luxurious finishes and ample storage.

The Sussex continues to evolve while maintaining its historic prestige. With significant updates, including new windows, balconies, roof, and brickwork already completed, the building is in the final stages of a comprehensive rejuvenation. Current enhancements include the reconstruction of the parking podium, redesigned landscaping at both the front and rear, and the installation of new bay windows. This extensive program ensures The Sussex will shine once again in its regal glory, offering residents the comfort of a nearly new building with the grace of its original architectural character.

Living at The Sussex means enjoying privacy, exclusivity, and the reassurance of a well-managed residence with a legacy of excellence. For those seeking quiet luxury in a premier location, this home is a rare opportunity.
