About Major Apartments

Named in homage to the beloved grocery store that first opened its doors in 1899, 126 York Street has been thoughtfully reimagined as a multi-residential property. Our goal is to preserve the warmth and hospitality that the building and its past custodians once offered. The Major Building blends historic charm with a premier downtown Ottawa location. Surrounded by restaurants, parks, entertainment, and essential amenities with seamless access to the city’s vibrant nightlife. Its central location provides excellent transit options, just steps from the LRT station, Mackenzie King Station, and Rideau Street bus routes with direct service to Gatineau. With easy access to Highway 417, scenic routes along the canal, on-site parking, and bike-friendly features, The Major Building is designed for convenience and connectivity.
