OTTAWA, ON, May 10 /PRNewswire/ - Mastercraft Starwood announced today that it will open the state-of-the-art, Gluckstein designed sales centre on Saturday, June 4, 2011 for its brand new SoHo Champagne luxury condominium project. As part of the exciting Ottawa project's Super Elite Launch, style-savvy buyers and investors who have preregistered online to attend the exclusive event also have a one-time opportunity to purchase an ultra-luxury, boutique hotel-style condominium at a 2 per cent discount off grand opening prices.

SoHo Champagne is the third Ottawa property in the SoHo Condominium series, which are designed using luxury boutique hotel standards and protocols. Mastercraft Starwood is again working with a hotel design dream team that includes Ottawa-based Roderick Lahey Architect Inc., Canadian celebrity designer and TV personality Brian Gluckstein and Toronto's premier boutique hotel operator SoHo Metropolitan Hotel, to build the new high-end condominium.

"We have seen, through the success of SoHo Parkway and SoHo Lisgar, there is an appetite and a desire for upscale condo-living in Ottawa," said Mastercraft Starwood president, Bruce Greenberg. "Ottawa buyers have caught on to the benefits of an elevated, hotel-inspired lifestyle made possible by our deliberate, perfectionist approach to designing and operating condominiums. This super elite launch event presents potential buyers with an opportunity to own real estate in one of the premier condominiums in the city."

With famed designer Brian Gluckstein http://www.glucksteindesign.com/ leading the interior design team, each suite is a testament to thoughtful planning and high-design. Suite highlights include SoHo floor-to-ceiling window walls, spa-inspired bathrooms and a Gluckstein designer kitchen with concealed European AEG appliances.

Located just steps away from Little Italy, Dow's Lake and the Queen Elizabeth Driveway, SoHo Champagne Condominiums offers owners unique, hotel-level shared amenities including a wine tasting room and wine storage lockers; resort-style outdoor patio with linear fireplace, raised and lit infinity-hot tub, and 60-foot lap pool; private dining room with professional catering kitchen; state-of-the-art gym designed and managed by trainer and two-time heavyweight champion Dalton Brown, as well as a private movie screening room and hotel-calibre concierge service.

Under the management of the SoHo Metropolitan Hotel, owners will have exclusive privileges that allow them to enjoy benefits at Metropolitan Hotels in Toronto and Vancouver. In addition, owners will receive a membership to the newly launched SoHo House Club, which offers discounts on hotel stays, dining and upgraded services at the SoHo Metropolitan in Toronto.

"With SoHo Champagne, we have strengthened our notion of 'hotel-inspired living', where we bring condominium ownership together with the luxury, convenience, sophistication and stylishness of a five-star hotel and resort lifestyle," said Henry Wu, president, Metropolitan Hotels. "This project satisfies the high expectations of Ottawa buyers looking to live and invest in a quality urban home. As one of Canada's premier boutique luxury hotel operators, we enjoy the opportunity to broaden our experience and apply our expertise in new ways."

Those looking to receive a VIP invitation and take advantage of the exclusive launch purchase discount can sign up for Super Elite status at www.sohochampagne.com.
