About Canada Lands Company
Canada Lands Company is a federal Crown corporation focused on the redevelopment and management of surplus government properties across the country. Its work often involves transforming significant public sites into new mixed-use communities while incorporating heritage and public-realm considerations. In Ottawa, the Booth Street Complex represents this kind of large-scale, master-planned redevelopment.
Buying pre-construction at Booth Street
Buying pre-construction in a large master-planned community like Booth Street usually begins with registering for first access. Registered buyers are typically invited to early release phases, where they may see initial pricing and floor plans before the wider public.
Deposits on new construction are generally structured in stages over time rather than paid all at once, and the exact schedule will be confirmed by the builder at launch. With condominium purchases, buyers often move through an interim occupancy period before final closing, when the building registers and title transfers.
In Ontario, buyers of a new condominium unit have a 10-day cooling-off period under the Condominium Act, during which the agreement can be cancelled. Buying early in a release can matter because the most sought-after layouts in a phase are often spoken for first, though all specifics for this project will be confirmed by the builder.
