CCOC’s most recent project, 143 – 153 Arlington Ave. has been formally recognized by the City of Ottawa for its commitment to a collaborative development process by receiving Ottawa’s first biannual Community Partnership Award.

On October 9^th, at the City’s Urban Design Awards, Councillor Jeff Leiper presented CCOC’s team and community partners with the award. Before awarding the honour, Councillor Leiper commended the City on their choice to establish a new design accolade that recognizes the importance of collaboration and establishing a strong dialogue between developers and the communities they work in.
