Azure Urban Developments was formed in 2010 by John Thomas, a native of Ottawa who returned to the Nation’s Capital after spending 15 years living and working in cities around the world including, Toronto, San Francisco, Abu Dhabi, Paris, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. Azure’s vision is defined by these experiences and, simply stated, is to bring world-class architecture and design to Ottawa and to improve the physical and life aesthetic of the communities in which it develops. We aspire to be a boutique builder of quality multi-family residential products.
Building Details
The Azure Westboro is unlike any other. It is a boutique hotel masquerading as an apartment building. Designed by leading national architecture firm, BDP Quadrangle, the Azure Westboro celebrates great design. On the outside, vertical fins undulate for 20 stories framed by imported floor-to-ceiling European windows, all perched on a grand 6-storey red brick podium reflecting the history of Westboro. Inside, you are greeted by our concierge and invited to spend time in our grand lobby working or mingling with your fellow residents.
Building Amenities
Our amenities have been carefully curated to keep you active, engaged and entertained. Your journey begins upon entering our hotel-style lobby designed as an extension of your suite, a place for co-working or just hanging out. At over 2000 sq. ft, this is not merely a passthrough but a destination in its own right. With extensive seating, art and an elegant interior designed, this lobby will become your second home and the primary focal point for social activities at the Azure.

Westboro: A Place to Call Holme
The Azure Westboro is located in the heart of Westboro, Ottawa’s best residential and commercial neighbourhood. Our residents have the benefit of being walking distance away from some of the city’s greatest restaurants, boutique stores, parks, and schools. Westboro is a neighbourhood that goes above and beyond the typical expectations of what an Ottawa neighborhood is. With gorgeous views of the Ottawa River and Gatineau Hills, access to the parkway and Westboro beach, and all the commercial elements you could ever dream of; you will be more than happy to call the beautiful neighborhood of Westboro your home.
The
Neighbourhood
Once you move into the Azure Westboro, you will realize what luxury living is truly all about. Our goal is to ensure that our residents have the apex of apartment living, the type of experience that is generally only achieved in major metropolitan cities like New York or London. We encourage everyone to visit the Azure Westboro and see firsthand what Ottawa has been missing in apartment living: a stress-free lifestyle where you are surrounded by everything you need.
All About Transit
Getting around Ottawa becomes mindless due to our building being linked to many major bus routes. What’s more, is that Ottawa’s brand new LRT system is only a walk away from our location. With the LRT, going anywhere in Ottawa becomes simple and stressfree.
Finishes and Design
When you step past the threshold of your Azure Westboro apartment, the sensation of complete joy and total luxury runs through your body. Our units have been masterfully designed by globally renowned architects, BDP Quadrangle, to ensure that our residents feel more than comfortable, they feel at home. At the Azure Westboro, your lifestyle is what matters most to us.
Luxury Living Rooms
The designs for our living rooms were inspired by the views of the Ottawa River and Gatineau Hills seen from our units. Keeping the view in mind when designing the space, it allowed us to create a very bright and open environment: one that feels light, liberating, and is perfect for entertaining. We aimed to ensure that our living rooms feel like more than just a living room, they carry the sentiment of relaxation and home.
Cooking in Style
The kitchen designs of our building have been carefully thought out with the idea of entertainment and comfort in mind. Our gorgeous finishes and state-of-the-art appliances will make you feel like you are cooking in a professional kitchen – not just an apartment kitchen. Our units are very open concept, thus allowing our residents to not only entertain guests in the kitchen but simultaneously entertain them in the living room as well.

The Team
At the heart of our development philosophy is the principle of responsibility; responsibility to our City and responsibility to our local communities. It is our core belief that, as developers, we are merely trustees of the land on which we develop. Our ownership is brief yet the impact is long-lasting. As such, our developments aspire to be positive contributions to the City’s architectural narrative and they will respectfully treat landmark locations. In addition to the economic benefit our projects are destined to have on local land values, they will add a meaningful lifestyle lift to the local community by delivering local amenities and a people-first street-front experience to our developments.
