The Varette Building (130 Albert Street)

This image shows a city street lined with modern buildings under a blue sky with scattered clouds. The architecture features a mix of styles.

Overview

Between Albert Street and Slater Street, and across from the World Exchange Plaza, the Varette Building boasts one of the most accessible locations for Ottawa’s professional, financial and government businesses.

The building features two convenient main entrances that open on to the city’s major transit arteries, Albert and Slater Street and the LRT. Tenants can enjoy the convenience of two boardrooms for executive meetings, furnished mini offices to meet short-term office rental requirements, as well as a printing shop and convenience store located on the ground floor. Take a break on our beautiful outdoor courtyard located on Slater Street.

Over this past decade Metcalfe Realty Company Limited has endeavored to maintain a high standard of energy efficiency and environmentally friendly practices in its buildings. The building underwent a full lighting replacement, a “green” cleaning program was implemented, and an energy retrofit was undertaken with the installation of digital automated controls for the building HVAC.

Our Tenants benefit from on-site property management and four levels of secure and private parking
