It's actually the old anglo CEGEP Heritage College. Which has long since moved to a new building on Cité-des-Jeunes, next to the French CEGEP.

That's why the renovated condo building is called Les Lofts Héritage.
I had no idea. I thought it was a new-ish build. Any pics of what it looked like before?

I can see the building from above in it's original form as far back as 1958 on GeoOttawa. No idea what it looked like before, but I would guess it looked better than...whatever that is now....

Best overall condo project in the region IMHO. Unique designs, quality materials, nicely scaled, excellent location, million dollar views...what's not to like?

Wow, thanks for the pics. Agreed, really nice quality project (probably why it's not on the Ottawa side)

La Bottega opening in Le Viu 2. It will include a small grocery portion. From the sounds of it, it won't be quite as expansive as the ByWard Market location, but still a welcome addition, especially in that corner of Hull. Near Zibi and Le Vieux, we're expecting two grocery stores, and another one near Guertin (some coop led initiative using an STO park-and-ride to be turned into affordable housing).

La Bottega s’installe au VIU2

CONTENU COMMANDITÉ, Le Droit
11 mars 2022


Bonne nouvelle! Pour la première fois de son histoire, la réputée cuisine italienne de la Bottega Nicastro, célèbre épicerie fine et comptoir-repas dans le marché By, traverse la rivière pour s’installer en sol québécois dans le tout nouvel immeuble VIU2 du Groupe Heafey!

Célèbre pour ses sandwiches panini et salades, réputée pour ses lunchs délicieux et courue pour son épicerie fine, La Bottega Nicastro (L’atelier Nicastro, en italien) attire depuis plusieurs années les amateurs de saveurs européennes dans sa boutique de la rue George à Ottawa. Travailleurs, fonctionnaires et touristes s’y rendent chaque jour avec l’assurance d’y être bien servi.

« C’était un élément incontournable dans notre volonté d’offrir un environnement de vie tout inclus », indique le vice-
président du Groupe Heafey et copropriétaire du VIU2, Charles Masse. « L’avantage de confier l’opération de son espace bistro et épicerie fine aux propriétaires de La Bottega, deux entreprises aux valeurs communes, c’est que la réputation de l’endroit n’est pas à faire. Le type de repas servi dans ce bistro, son côté décontracté, mais axé sur la qualité, cadre parfaitement bien avec les autres aménagements du Viu1 et du VIU2. »



Pour vous aussi

En procédant à l’ouverture de la portion épicerie fine du commerce, le Groupe Heafey ajoutera donc une épicerie à l’européenne dans ce secteur de Hull, une bonne nouvelle qui sera applaudie par la population générale. « Oui, tout le monde aura accès au bistro et à l’épicerie fine, pas seulement les résidents des Viu1 et 2 », souligne Catherine Miron, directrice marketing du Viu2. « Par contre, les résidents du VIU2 auront un accès interne sécurisé et auront droit au service de livraison, ce qui constituera évidemment un avantage intéressant! On pourra passer une commande de produits d’épicerie et avoir la livraison dès le lendemain. »

Bien qu’il ne s’agisse évidemment pas d’une épicerie à grande surface, la variété des produits offerts sera surprenante: on parle d’un grand choix de pains, de sandwiches paninis gourmet, salades, des cafés typiquement italiens comme les Cappucino, Espresso, Macchiato, les charcuteries, les cannolis, les biscottis, huiles d’olive de qualité, antipasti et bien plus! Sans oublier les succulentes pâtisseries typiquement italiennes, naturalmente



Levez votre verre

… Cappuccino, latte, jus, boisson gazeuse étancheront votre soif au bistro La Bottega café boutique. Un permis de vente d’alcool devrait permettre de compléter l’offre de breuvages de belle façon, à consommer sur la terrasse ou l’une des 20 places assises à l’intérieur.

« L’entente avec nos partenaires de La Bottega est paraphée et les travaux sont en cours », dit Mme Miron. « Les portes devraient officiellement ouvrir en septembre 2022. Nous sommes emballés par ce partenariat, ce sera un vrai bijou qui peaufinera notre thématique tout inclus! »

I love the red, it's simple but quite a nice touch.

Really like the VIU projects. It shows that the use of more glass & larger balconies CAN be done, even in our climate.

Selfishly would've loved to have them on the Ottawa-side. Little Italy or Lebreton (with views of the flats & river) could have been nice.

It's the best view in the city with the possible exception of something tall on sparks.

I've never been inside but these buildings really are in a class by themselves. Price is very high for that side of the river but I know for many they don't mind paying the higher taxes to have a QC license etc.
