How we get these numbers
Every range on this page is reproduced exactly as a published cost guide printed it, with the publisher named and the edition and page cited. We derive no midpoint of our own, we never average two publishers into one figure, and where no guide covers a project type we show no range at all.
No adjustment of any kind is applied. There is no regional multiplier and no index-based uplift on this page — an index series we cannot cite by source, edition and licence does not get to move a published number.
Read the full methodologyTenant improvement costs in Ottawa: common questions
- How much does a mid-rise office (≤10 storeys) tenant improvement cost in Ottawa?
- Altus Group's 2026 published benchmark puts a mid-rise office (≤10 storeys) in Ottawa at $100 to $150 per square foot at mid finishes. That is the published range, reproduced exactly as printed — we never average, adjust, or blend a publisher's range into a number of our own. It covers hard construction costs only and excludes land, fees and other soft costs.
- Where does this data come from?
- A range is published only where a named cost guide printed one for this city and project type — reproduced exactly as published, with the publisher, edition and page cited. Project types no guide covers show no figure at all rather than an unsourced one. No regional multiplier and no index-based adjustment is applied to any figure here.
