The ByWard Market is one of the oldest neighbourhoods in Ottawa. Today, it is a vibrant, mixed-used area, and home to many heritage properties managed by the NCC.
The NCC is the steward of many heritage buildings and sites in the National Capital Region. For this reason, we are committed to preserving and revitalizing our assets in the ByWard Market. Work on commercial and residential properties is needed so that current and future generations can appreciate and enjoy them.
The improvements will protect and extend the life cycle of these properties. The NCC will do its best to limit disruptions to residents and operations.
Each project has a unique timeline. Work will start in spring 2022, and should be completed by winter 2022–2023.
