345 St Denis
345 St. Denis is one of Ottawa’s most unique schoolhouse conversions. Originally built in 1959 as École Cadieux, it was transformed in 2009 into a boutique eco-conscious condo known as Le Saint Denis. Now home to just under 50 units, it blends mid-century charm with modern touches: 10+ ft ceilings, oversized windows, open layouts, and private balconies or patios in most units. Many condos still feature original architectural details, adding warmth and authenticity. It is LEED certified, quiet, and community focused, perfect for buyers who value sustainability, heritage, and a little more soul in their space.
About
The Location
Located between the charm of Beechwood Village and the evolving heart of Vanier, 345 St. Denis offers a unique blend of community, convenience, and culture. Just a short walk from the boutiques, bakeries, and restaurants along Beechwood Avenue, you also have quick access to the eclectic mix of local shops, art spaces, and services that give Vanier its distinct character. The Rideau River trails are close by, offering scenic paths for walking and biking, while nearby parks and recreation centres add to the neighbourhood's livability. It is a pocket of the city that still feels local, where heritage meets revitalization and where you can feel part of the story as the area continues to grow and change.
