120 Holland Avenue - REAL LOFTS
The Laura Secord building, reimagined
120 Holland Avenue — known as the Real Lofts — is one of Ottawa's most architecturally distinctive authentic loft conversions. Originally constructed in 1956 as the Laura Secord chocolate factory building, the two-storey Art Moderne structure was expanded to five storeys in 1965 and converted into 16 boutique condominiums in 1998 by developer Routeburn Urban Developments. Every unit is a corner suite, every floor has just four lofts, and the building has won an award for adaptive reuse of a heritage building. The iconic yellow brick, curved corner, and wall-to-wall gridded windows remain completely intact.
Chocolate Factory
From chocolates to lofts
One of Wellington Village's most recognisable buildings — the curved yellow-brick corner of Holland and Wellington has anchored the neighbourhood since 1956, in every form.
