New urban condos for lease in downtown Hull -Available July 2015

Hmmm cool project! I think Hull needs more condos and people living in "downtown Hull". Maybe that will bring more restaurants/shopping and life into that part of town as well.

And even though the $950/month "starting-at" might be for a smaller bachelor, the price difference would probably still be pretty considerable comparing to new condo for rent in Downtown Ottawa. Hey, if I was working at Portage I would love to live there.

It's already under construction - moving along quite nicely in fact.

About a few weeks ago (November 6) I took photos of this.

(On a side note, it would be nice if there were a way to collect all the Gatineau threads together, as they disappear quickly).

Same promoter and builder - Heafey and EBC as Le VIU.

Coincidence?

The word Le VIU can be pronounced Le VIEW in English
The word Le W/E can be pronounced Le OUI in French

In any case, the names have a nice ring to them.

I'm a bit of difficulty reconciling the rendering with the construction photo. I guess that main entrance is on Saint-Jacques? Talk about building name and address confusion! I'd like to see the Eddy facade and how it integrates with the main street.

Its got to be on either Wellington or Eddy as the name W/E implies.

It looks to me like the left face of the floating rendering matches the right face of the construction photo. The balconies line up perfectly. That means the entrance marked W/E in the rendering is on Rue Saint Jacques?

How about the following?

W/E is abbreviation used in personal ads to mean "well endowed"
W/E is online abbreviation for "whatever"
W/E is slang for "what else" usually used in instant messaging.

Frontage on St Jacques St. appears to be the condo entrance.

Smallest unit is 675 sq ft and monthly rent starts at $950.
Is that on par with downtown Ottawa?

OTSkyline · #20 Posted **Feb 25, 2015, 8:31 PM**

^ That is less expensive than DT Ottawa... I had visited 2 brand new condos to rent a about a year ago. One was a studio, the other one a 1 bedroom, both of them in the 500sq ft range and both of them $1050-$1100.
