Wallis House

Wallis House is a historic mid-rise condo at 589 Rideau Street in Lower Town, Ottawa, originally constructed as a 19th-century hospital and converted to loft-style residential units in 1996. The building features five floors and offers character-filled units with soaring ceilings, exposed brick, and hardwood flooring. Recent sales have averaged around $516,500 for units roughly 1,100 square feet, with monthly condo fees averaging approximately $681 (or $0.84 per square foot), covering water and building insurance. The neighbourhood provides convenient access to numerous restaurants, cafés, pharmacies, and public transit, with the William Street ByWard Market rapid-transit station within reasonable distance. Before purchasing, have a condo lawyer review the status certificate, reserve fund study, financial statements, by-laws, and insurance details to understand building obligations and any pending assessments.
