Six-tower housing project on Coventry Road

planned

The City of Ottawa’s planning and housing committee approved the proposed construction of a six-tower highrise complex that would create about 1,770 housing units along Coventry Road near the St. Laurent Shopping Centre and transit station. The development includes two blocks divided by an east-west road and features a new public park. The north block will have a 25-storey and a 28-storey tower with commercial space on the ground floor, and the south block will have four towers rising 21, 31, 33, and 35 storeys. The zoning amendments increase permitted height and density, changing the parent zoning to transit-oriented development to create a compact and walkable community near rapid transit.
