ByWard Market · Ottawa

A heritage block, privately held for thirty years.

489 Sussex Properties owns a contiguous row of limestone buildings at the heart of Ottawa's oldest commercial district, on Sussex Drive between Clarence and York.

Small, hands-on, and here for the long term

We are a privately held ownership group, not a large institutional landlord. We approach leasing the way we approach ownership: thinking carefully about the mix of tenants who add to the character of the block and the community around it.

For our tenants, that means direct access to ownership, responsive management, and a landlord focused on long-term relationships rather than short-term turnover.

Steps from everything that makes Ottawa Ottawa

The block sits within Ottawa's historic Sussex corridor, across from the US Embassy and steps from Parliament Hill, the National Gallery of Canada, and the Royal Canadian Mint. It's part of the "Mile of History," a stretch of Sussex Drive the National Capital Commission has protected and celebrated for over sixty years.
