Overview of Kanaal Condominiums

Situated on Chaudière Island, Kanaal Condominiums is a residential phase within the Zibi master-planned community. Completed in October 2020, the six-storey mid-rise was designed by Barry J. Hobin & Associates Architects Inc.

The building occupies Block 205A, a site previously used for timber and industrial operations. The architecture incorporates the industrial waterfront character of the Ottawa River.

The project transitioned former industrial land into a residential environment. The design integrates with the Buchanan Channel, functioning as an extension of the waterfront.
