01About this home

Available for Sale or Lease. Exceptional visibility and traffic volume with this high-profile former Hardee's restaurant space, strategically positioned at a lighted intersection in one of Ottawa's most active commercial corridors. Zoned C-3 (Special Business District), the property is ideal for a wide range of food, retail, and service concepts looking to plug into a thriving trade area. Anchored by major national retailers, the site sits next to Kroger and directly across from Aldi, placing your business in the heart of daily shopping patterns. The property also offers quick access to Interstate 80, providing strong regional draw for customers, employees, and deliveries. The building's existing restaurant layout creates a smooth path for redevelopment or re-tenanting whether you envision a drive-thru concept, quick-service model, or a reimagined retail use.
