146 Rideau Street | QSR Opportunities

A future QSR leasing opportunity in the very core of downtown Ottawa, available April 1, 2027. The existing premises are planned for demolition and redevelopment into three customizable shell units of approximately 2,674.88 SF., 1,406.17 SF. and 1,379.41 SF., providing flexible options for a range of quick-service restaurant concepts.

Prominently positioned along 64 feet of Rideau Street frontage, 146 Rideau Street sits directly beside CF Rideau Centre, across from the entrance to the ByWard Market and steps from the new HISTORY Ottawa live entertainment venue. This strategic address places operators at the intersection of Ottawa’s most established retail, tourism and entertainment destinations.

Expansive display windows and customizable canopies will provide each brand with strong street-level visibility and exposure to continuous pedestrian and vehicle traffic.

Benefit from immediate proximity to national anchors, destination dining, nightlife and year-round tourism, the kind of neighbouring draw that converts foot traffic into walk-ins.

Adjacent to Ogilvy Square, a public gathering space that encourages pedestrians to pause and spend time, the location gains valuable dwell time and daily activity. Steps from Rideau LRT Station and with quick access to Highway 417, the site benefits from consistent traffic from commuters, students, office workers and nearby residents.

For retailers, this layered exposure extends from morning through evening. CF Rideau Centre shoppers, ByWard Market pedestrians, Ogilvy Square visitors, transit riders and passing motorists all converge here, delivering sustained visibility and a consistent flow of potential customers.
