The Somerwell is a transformative mixed-use development that will redefine one of Ottawa’s most dynamic urban neighbourhoods. Occupying an entire city block at the prominent intersection of Wellington Street West and Somerset Street West, this landmark ML Devco project will serve as the gateway to Hintonburg—one of the city’s most vibrant and rapidly evolving communities.

Currently undergoing a thoughtful redesign, the 13-storey development is being refined to better reflect the evolving needs of today’s residents, retailers, and the surrounding community. The updated vision will deliver more than 275 purpose-built rental homes complemented by carefully curated ground-floor commercial space, creating a vibrant, pedestrian-oriented destination that seamlessly integrates living, shopping, dining, and everyday convenience.

Located just 550 metres from Bayview Station, Ottawa’s primary LRT transit hub, and less than two kilometres from downtown, The Somerwell offers exceptional connectivity while embracing the distinctive character of Hintonburg. Residents will enjoy walkable access to independent cafés, acclaimed restaurants, local retailers, parks, cycling infrastructure, and the neighbourhood’s thriving arts and culture scene

Designed with a focus on placemaking, sustainability, and long-term community value, The Somerwell will introduce contemporary architecture, animated public spaces, and high-quality rental housing that contributes to the continued growth and vitality of Hintonburg.
