CF Rideau Centre- Expansion and Renewal
(with B+H Architects)
Cadillac Fairview
Ottawa, ON, Canada
TYPE: Retail
AREA: 540,000 sf
COMPLETED: 2016
This project expands the existing CF Rideau Centre shopping centre in the heart of downtown Ottawa adding four new levels of retail and three levels of underground parking. Accompanying the expansion is a complete replacement of the existing building's façade. A new street presence and level of interaction with the public is achieved through generous glazing at grade and direct entrances from the street. CF Rideau Centre is already one of Ottawa’s busiest bus transit hubs, and after 2017 it will also incorporate the new Light Rail Transit station, complete with direct connections between CF Rideau Centre and the station. The project is targeting LEED Certified Core and Shell.
