Suspended ArriveCan IT consultant selling second Ottawa office condo

An Ottawa-based technology company suspended from working for the federal government after becoming embroiled in the ArriveCan app contract spending controversy is unloading a second office condominium it owns near Parliament Hill.

Global News has learned that the second property put up for sale by Coradix Technology Consulting Ltd. at 222 Somerset St. West in Ottawa’s downtown is worth almost $1 million.

It joins a larger $2.2-million office condo which Coradix is also selling in the same building amid multiple ongoing criminal and parliamentary investigations into the ArriveCan affair.

The second smaller office suite covers about half a floor in the commercial office building. It includes three parking spaces and a $14,109 annual tax bill.

The suite features office space with plenty of natural light, a kitchenette and open-plan workstations for employees, several private offices and a meeting room equipped with a screen. The larger office condo suite is sprawling and features six parking spaces and carries an annual tax bill  that tops $39,000.

Dominic Dostie, a CBRE Ottawa senior vice-president and commercial real estate agent, is now selling both Suite #702 and Suite #500.

Dostie declined to comment on the listings, which were put on the market five months ago just as the ArriveCan app spending controversy began intensifying inside Parliament, documents show.

Coradix acquired both suites of offices in late 2019.

It obtained a $2,847,000 mortgage loan from National Bank of Canada to pay for units in the Ottawa building in December, 2019, just prior to the start of the pandemic, after the parties signed a loan commitment letter back in August 2019, land title records show.
