It Started With an Idea Azure Urban Developments was formed in 2010 by John Thomas, a native of Ottawa who returned to the Nation’s Capital after spending 15 years living and working in cities around the world including, Toronto, San Francisco, Abu Dhabi, Paris, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. Azure’s vision is defined by these experiences and, simply stated, is to bring world class architecture and design to Ottawa and to improve the physical and life aesthetic of the communities in which it develops. We are a boutique builder of quality multi-family residential product.

The Builders
64
At the heart of our development philosophy is the principle of responsibility; responsibility to our City and responsibility to our local communities. It is our core belief that, as developers, we are merely trustees of the land on which we develop. Our ownership is brief yet the impact is long-lasting. As such, our developments aspire to be positive contributions to the City’s architectural narrative and they will respectfully treat landmark locations. In addition to the economic benefit our projects are destined to have on local land values, they will add a meaningful lifestyle lift to the local community in delivering local amenities and a people first street-front experience to our developments.
