166-168 Main Street is one of the last prime infill opportunities in Old Ottawa East, offering exceptional redevelopment potential in a rapidly growing urban corridor. The property features two large three-bedroom units on a 5,737 sq. ft. lot, creating a strong foundation for future value and long-term growth. It also offers the flexibility to owner-occupy one unit while renting out the other, making it appealing to both investors and end users seeking income support. The site's flexible zoning allows for a wide range of uses including residential, commercial, office, retail and mixed-use development, giving builders and investors the ability to design a project tailored to modern demand. Steps from the Rideau River, the Rideau Canal and a vibrant mix of neighbourhood amenities, the location provides exceptional walkability and connectivity. With strong rental appeal, increasing densification along Main Street and very limited available land, this address stands out as a rare chance to secure a premier site in one of Ottawa's most desirable neighbourhoods.
