A Toronto-based real estate investment firm has partnered with an Ottawa company to buy a prominent downtown office building in a deal worth nearly $12.5 million.
Marlin Spring said Wednesday it’s acquired a 12-storey tower at 81 Metcalfe St. from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. in a joint venture with Ottawa real estate firm Colonnade BridgePort. The 61,000-square-foot building at the corner of Metcalfe and Slater streets is home to a variety of government, health-care and professional services tenants.
The deal marks the first Ottawa acquisition for Marlin Spring, which owns more than eight million square feet of multi-residential property in Canada and the United States and is now making a push into the commercial sector.
