The Claridge Icon is a 45-storey condominium tower in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It is located at the intersection of Carling Avenue and Preston Street in Little Italy.[1][3] When the structure topped out in 2019, it became the tallest building in Ottawa since 1971 and the tallest in Ottawa-Gatineau since 1978.
The building was designed by Hariri Pontarini Architects and built by Claridge Homes.[3] It has suffered lengthy delays. When first announced in 2012, Claridge aimed for opening in late 2016.[4] Once construction had begun in 2015, it was planned to be ready for occupancy in 2018.[5]
Early during construction in March 2016, a worker was struck and killed by a 12-metre (39 ft) chunk of ice that fell from the side of the construction pit.[6] This resulted in a year-long delay and charges against the developer and main contractor (which were fined $325,000 each in May 2019).[7] Construction work was halted again in March 2018 when a worker fell 3 metres (10 ft) from a platform and suffered a head injury.[8]
