ModBox, which is a partnership between LineBox Studio and The Lake Partnership, is hoping to complete development of the former Saint-Charles Church by 2018.
The firm paid $4 million to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Ottawa to buy the church.
The plans include a year-round market, with boutique vendors, mixed-use space, condos and townhomes, a high-end restaurant and possibly some offices. There will also be a public square and outside space to recognize the church’s past as an important part of the Vanier community.
