Overview of Sophia 1 Residences

Sophia 1 Residences is a high-rise condominium in the Leslie Park neighbourhood of Nepean. Built in 1986, the 12-storey tower was part of the area's 1980s development phase — a period that introduced high-density residential options alongside traditional townhomes.

The building offers housing in a park-heavy environment, featuring mature landscaping and full integration into the established residential fabric of Nepean.
