Lépine Apartments: Timing and selection has never been better

- STEPHEN THORNE Postmedia Content Works www.lepineapar­tments.com.

The time is now! With the recent drop in interest rates and easier lending qualificat­ions, there has never been a better time to sell your property and choose the carefree lifestyle devoid of the burdens of homeowners­hip. The real estate market in Ottawa is currently red hot with very little inventory available and a large demand.

If there’s one thing the Lépine family knows that is key to good quality constructi­on and good building management, it’s that one size does not fit all.

That’s why you’ll find Lépine Apartments in Barrhaven, Kanata, Overbrook and Carleton Place, so you can live a life of luxury in an urban, suburban or small-town setting — with more to come.

Lépine Apartments builds on strong values with a simple formula: build it for yourself, and that will naturally result in heavy-duty constructi­on and attentive service.

The apartment buildings are quality-built from the inside out, with sound, thick concrete structures and walls, a building envelope wrapped with generous insulation, and reliable electromec­hanical services that exceed regulated standards.

It’s also why you’ll find a range of apartment sizes within a single building, at a cross-section of prices. You can then choose from a variety of rental agreements, picking the one best suited to your individual needs.

It’s why Lépine buildings, such as Kanata’s Saint Émilion, have a variety of amenities that offer residents a rich and varied living experience. Residents live with peace of mind in the knowledge that their building is secure, well-built and meticulous­ly planned.

They know that the Lépine family is just that — a family whose members have a stake in what they build and take pride in their work. They are one of the region’s most wellknown apartment developers.

To top it off, Lépine’s private in-house building management services employ personable, caring and experience­d staff whose primary role is to ensure that the wants and needs of their residents are addressed efficientl­y and effectivel­y.

“The on-site staff are outstandin­g. They go out of their way to help you, to make you feel welcome, to make you feel at home. The tenants are happy to reciprocat­e; it makes for a very warm and friendly atmosphere.”

“In an apartment building, you have the choice to cherish your privacy and never get to know your neighbours, or you can make lots of friends,” says Francesca Lépine-Willson, who’s involved in leasing, while her brother Francis is the master builder behind all the projects.

“By creating spaces where people can lounge, you’re more likely to meet people. It also allows us a space where we can hold various types of events; we can have tenant barbecues, we can have the community get-togethers; outside people can come in to give presentati­ons or seminars on various topics. It makes for a great lifestyle.”

Presently, there are four Lépine properties available:

Howard Grant Terrace in Barrhaven is an 18-storey high-rise scheduled to open in spring 2021. The suites will range from more modest sizes of 730 square feet to large and spacious 1,505-square-foot units.

“It’s a new generation of rentals. It really is rethinking rentals and making them feel more like a bungalow in the sky, something that you would build for yourself, with a little more attention to details,” Lépine says. For informatio­n, contact Lori at 613-714-9675.

Saint Émilion in Kanata Lakes features 154 units between 835 and 2,173 square feet. It’s surrounded by green spaces with ponds and walkways at 1136 Maritime Way, just two blocks from the Kanata Centrum entertainm­ent and retail centre and minutes from golf and the Canadian Tire Centre. This one promises to be “la crème de

la crème,” says Francis. For informatio­n, contact Stacie at 613-714-1108.

Johanne’s Court in Carleton Place is the first building of its kind in the town of 10,000 southwest of Ottawa. It’s a low-rise concrete structure with undergroun­d parking and suites ranging from 926 to 1,389 square feet, convenient­ly located near the downtown core as well as outdoor activities and retail. For informatio­n, contact David at 613-686-6567.

Les Terrasses Francesca

with immediate occupancy is located at 1425 Vanier Parkway. It’s a high-end luxury building with 24/7 security at the door, undergroun­d parking and free guest parking. The few available remaining units run from 1,075 to 1,535 square feet. For informatio­n, contact Cindy at 613-627-2121.
