Broadstreet Properties Inc. is proposing to develop four mid-rise six storey apartment buildings containing a total of 293 units at 4200 Innes Road (future Rue Noella Leclair). The unit mix includes one-, two- and three-bedroom units. The units have a balcony or ground level terrace as private open space. In addition to communal amenity areas throughout the site, there is a dedicated amenity area on the west side of the Subject Site.
A 340m2 Medical Facility will be provided in a portion of the ground floor of Building B with its entry oriented towards the public street (Noëlla Leclair Street extension). This building is defined in the Zoning By-law as a Mixed-use Building.
Vehicular access is proposed from the extension of Noëlla Leclair Street between Building A and Building B. Private drive aisles provide vehicular circulation throughout the site to the proposed 366 parking spaces. Unground parking is provided beneath Buildings A, C and D with access ramps located between Buildings C and D and on the south side of Building A. The drive aisles have been designed to accommodate turning movements for emergency vehicles and waste collection trucks. Screened refuse bins are provided throughout the site and are oriented to allow for municipal collection. A total of 151 bicycle parking spaces is provided on site, 75 of which are provided within the underground parking, with the remainder provided as surface outdoor parking areas located in convenient proximity to each of the four buildings.
A network of pathways is provided for pedestrian circulation throughout the site and to the broader public realm. These pathways connect building entrances to parking and communal areas and to the proposed east-west pathway connection through the site that creates a continuous link between Mer-Bleue Road and the extension of Noëlla Leclair Street. Noëlla Leclair Street will end in a temporary turning circle adjacent to the southeast corner of the Subject Site, as shown on the Site Plan.
Sooooo much surface parking... they could easily fit another few buildings of the same size. I'm sure the added housing will be welcome... but really?
I know it's the suburbs, and land is cheap-ish - but they could do so much better than this.
The minuscule playground, the dog run cage thingy and small garden are also surrounded by what will no doubt be a scorchingly hot parking lot in the summer...

Sooooo much surface parking... argh.... They could easily fit another few buildings into that location. I know underground parking would be more expensive, but....
Cheap does seem to be the order of the day. And bland too. The buildings have to be numbered so that you don't forget which of these unique masterpieces is yours
I thought that the small play structure and fenced dog run amid an ocean of parking looked familiar. Sure enough... same developer and architect as 360 Bobolink Ridge:
This is an absolutely horrible proposal. Their half hearted attempts at greenspace in the middle of an asphalt cook top is laughable.
And yeah, seriously, black tar roofs should not even be legal anymore. Reflective white should be the standards, with development fee breaks for green roofs.

Reflective white with solar panels on top!
And that massive unbroken sheet of asphalt is bad not only visually and in terms of amenities for the future residents, but also from a climate and runoff management angle.
Housing good; this... needs a rewrite.
