Place d’Orléans

Place d’Orléans is the principal east Ottawa regional shopping centre at 110 Place d’Orléans Drive in the Orléans district of Ottawa, opened in 1981 with the 74,000-sqm regional format spanning approximately 165 retail and service units. The property is owned and managed by Cadillac Fairview as one of the principal CF Ottawa retail assets alongside the landmark CF Rideau Centre in the downtown core, serving the dense French-speaking residential communities of Orléans one of the largest francophone urban communities outside Quebec and the broader east Ottawa and Gatineau Quebec catchment.

The format combines the Hudson’s Bay Company, Sport Chek, and Winners anchor stores with the comprehensive bilingual international and Canadian retail register featuring H&M, Zara, Lululemon, Sephora, Dynamite, and the broader Canadian and international fashion programming serving the French-English bilingual Orléans community. The Cineplex Cinemas multiplex anchor, the comprehensive French-English bilingual food court and dining circuit, and the broader retail-and-services programming serving the east Ottawa residential and federal government employment catchment complete the contemporary Orléans regional offer.

The catchment combines the dense Orléans, Gloucester, and East Ottawa residential demographic of approximately 250,000 east Ottawa residents the fastest-growing sector of the Ottawa CMA with the broader Ottawa-Gatineau CMA concentration of approximately 1.4 million metropolitan residents and the bilingual Gatineau Quebec catchment crossing the Ottawa River via Highway 174. Direct accessibility includes the direct Highway 174 and Place d’Orléans Drive interchange positioning the property at the principal east Ottawa expressway gateway, the OC Transpo rapid bus network, and the dedicated parking infrastructure for approximately 5,000 vehicles.

Cadillac Fairview coordinates the property management of Place d’Orléans within the broader CF Ottawa retail portfolio. The asset’s commercial role within the Canadian retail map is the dominant east Ottawa CF regional destination serving the principal French-speaking east Ottawa residential corridor, Canada’s third-largest francophone urban community complementing rather than competing with the downtown CF Rideau Centre and the western Bayshore CF regional through its distinct Orléans francophone community service and east Ottawa expressway-accessible positioning within the broader National Capital Region retail register.
