Layouts are clean and unobstructed and designed to provide the utmost living space for their size, as good planning dictates. Phoenix Homes have cleverly offered a choice from only two designs from 1,042 Sq Ft to 1,064 Sq Ft. And having satisfied themselves that they had arrived at the best possible design for that space and size, they offer only one element differentiating the two designs - each one incorporates either a corner solarium - as in "Suite 102" and its companion suites - or a balcony, as in "Suite 202" and the like. One advantage of the corner solarium is that it could also be used as a den or home office.
The trend to open kitchens is favoured in both designs, effectively increasing the length of the main sight-line of the living/dining room, already a generous 28ft, by the almost 9ft depth of the kitchen. The kitchen incorporates a stacked washer & dryer in its laundry closet, a dishwasher beside the double sink, plus a refrigerator and stove - all in clean, fashionable white.
The kitchen floor is clad in vinyl cushion flooring (as is the main bathroom), but features granite counter tops, which continue the granite theme from the floor of the foyer. Ceramic tiles are used for the floor in the en-suite bathroom, which features a luxury Roman Tub across one corner.
The master bedroom has a walk-in area of two separate closets - one on each side - leading into its private bathroom. A second bedroom on the other side of the living room can, of course, be used alternatively either as a den or a home office. French Doors lead off of the living room into the solarium of one design, and glass sliders lead out to the balcony of the other one.
Phoenix Homes have priced them from . By doing so, they offer affordable apartment homes that compare very favourably in price with most suburban Terrace Homes, and also in size to most low-rise boutique apartment buildings currently available closer to the core that feature tiny rooms by comparison.
It is well worth setting aside a few more thousands to take advantage of the excellent value they offer. They are likely to be snapped up very soon by discerning home buyers who recognise value when they see it - particularly since they are situated in a central area in what is considered a desirable neighbourhood in the eastern suburbs of Ottawa, and within easy driving distance to downtown.
Phoenix Homes have taken considerable care to provide what the market needs with Place Bordeaux - simple and elegant condo apartments which we have no hesitation in endorsing with our 5-Star award for excellence - indeed, elegance.

Why buy an Ottawa new home from an Ottawa home builder, rather than a Resale
:
FAVORABLE PRICING
Competition among Ottawa home builder's makes new homes less likely to to overpriced. Ottawa New homes are easy to compare with others in the market equating apples to apples. The homes are the same age and options are declared up front with a breakdown of prices for comparative shopping.
NEW HOME WARRANTIES
Ottawa New home buyers are assured of a warranty on the home itself and on major appliances, including air conditioning and heating systems. Today's Ottawa home builder's extend the Tarion warrenty, which includes structural elements.
HOMESITE SELECTION
Location, location, location. Being able to select just the right new home community and lot is almost as important as choosing the right home for your life-style. Ottawa home builders offer a wide selection of lots including golf course locations, waterfront, rural, estate lots and more.
LATEST MATERIALS
Low maintenance is one of the most important features of new homes being built today in Ottawa. New technologies and building materials are virtually maintenance free, especially on the exterior. Homeowners no longer have to worry about painting every 3 to 5 years.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
A new home built today is required by law to meet stricter energy codes than homes built in the past, when codes either didn't exist or were much more lenient. Many Ottawa home builder's use materials that are designed to exceed the strict limits to produce future savings for home owners.
COMPATIBLE NEIGHBORS
In most new Ottawa communities buyers will be moving in with neighbors that, in general, have similar circumstances. In older communities, new-comers may have more difficulty fitting-in to the already established social setting.
SIMPLIFIED FINANCING
Securing financing is the major obstacle to home ownership. Most Ottawa home builder's have done the leg work for you. They have researched the best rates for their specific type of Housing, with established lenders that know the products.
