How CLV’s Guiding Principles Impact Communities
Building better communities, and by extension, better cities, all start with building developments. These spaces need to be able to do it all. Affordable rentals, a prime location, and access to amenities are all contributing factors that can enhance Ottawa and improve the daily lives of residents. At CLV Group, we are committed to developing communities that not only house individuals and families but also transform their lifestyles. This blog will explore how we shape our communities for the benefit of prospective tenants, businesses and all of Ottawa.
Shaping Neighbourhoods with Purpose
CLV Group’s projects go beyond buildings; we focus on shaping and enhancing neighbourhoods across Ottawa. By creating vibrant mixed-use developments, our inclusive communities offer a range of amenities, promote local businesses, and are situated in prime locations.
We view ourselves as “community architects” thanks to our years of experience. We are capable of seamlessly integrating residential, commercial, and recreational elements into dynamic urban spaces that further promote our principle to use land space sparingly to minimize urban sprawl.
Principles that Build Lasting Impact
All of our development projects are built on our lasting principles, which include:
- Sustainability: We ensure our developments align with green practices, from energy-efficient construction and third-party energy modelling to an in-house energy management team, all while maintaining resident comfort.
- Central Location: We aim to position our projects near major transit nodes to encourage public transit use, further enhancing connectivity and supporting walkable urban lifestyles.
- Intentional: By collaborating with municipalities, we plan our projects to meet the specific needs of each community and address local housing demand, ultimately leaving a positive impact on the city.
- Experiential: Our developments strive to foster a sense of connection and belonging among residents with thoughtful amenities and engaging shared spaces.
- Durable: The properties we develop are constructed with high-quality materials and thoughtful designs, promoting longevity in their resilience and architectural beauty.
Strengthening Ottawa’s Urban Fabric
CLV Group’s goals involve revitalizing older, unused spaces and transforming them into vibrant residential and mixed-use areas. Our 360 Laurier project consists of converting a vacant downtown office space in the heart of the city into 139 rental suites, offering a range of amenities. The project aims to:
- Revitalize the area
- Improve pedestrian foot traffic with additional retail spaces
- Reduce our carbon footprint by removing the initial phase of construction
Working on an existing building not only saves resources but also avoids the risk of damaging undisturbed land, creating new spaces while further promoting sustainability.
Community Involvement Initiatives
Along with promoting economic vibrancy in populated areas, our community involvement initiatives involve partnering with several non-profits. Our community partners contribute to non-profit developments, supporting safe and inclusive housing and the construction of 15 affordable housing developments across Canada.
