This has direct access to the VIA rail station and LRT and is immediately off the highway.
Plus there is already a hotel and conference centre right there.

And as a bonus, the properties around the St. Laurent Centre Shopping Plaza have been recently up-zone as part of the Transit Orient Development Design Plans. Basically, the whole strip between the Rideau River and St. Laurent is ripe for redevelopment (with a few small exceptions like the hotel, train station, and parts of the existing mall building.)
Ottawa actually has ample space within the current LRT PH1n reach that could accomodate Amazon's needed on the long term (Tunneys; Innovation Centre/Bayview/Lebreton; Hurdman; Vanier Parkway/St. Laurent; Blair Rd) Some are public lands, some private but I don't think that's really an issue as far as acquisition goes.
