VISION

From locations we select to the types of residences we produce — our ambition is to create neighbourhoods. We incorporate the natural surroundings into every one of our developments.
We offer a wide-range of unique designs built to suit your needs.

We commissioned the sculpture on the corner of O’Connor and McLeod, not because we had to, but because we considered the landscape and making Ottawa more beautiful. We are very mindful that we make good design happen – it comes from the soul of a developer.
- David Choo, Choo Communities
Upscale urban growth is Ottawa’s inevitable evolutionary path. So much of what we’re seeing thrive in the city, whether it’s the ByWard Market or Westboro or the Glebe, that’s urban living, not suburban.
- David Choo, Choo Communities
You are doing more than just buying a condo, you are buying into a community! Just as an artist has a portfolio, these communities are my portfolio. I create exciting, creative and unique environments.
