Think I first mentioned this one a couple of years ago. It's been a slow process but it's about to speed up quickly now. The project is now headed by Wall Financial (which explains why he spoke up a few months ago about saving Carleton School). This project has a date with the UDP on June 1. Looking it over I don't expect it to run into any issues. Personally I think the taller building should be at the bottom of the hill but nothing major.

GBL Architects has applied to rezone 32 individual parcels in this block from CD-1 #220 and CD-1 #224 to a new CD-1 By-law (Comprehensive Development District) for the purpose of developing the site, including the north-south City lane, with three new residential towers on the Boundary Road and Vanness Avenue frontages, and a mid-rise stepped building on the Ormidale Street frontage.

The application proposes a total 1,173 dwelling units at a density of 5.69 Floor Space Ratio. The proposed tower heights are 29, 31 and 32 storeys. Parking for 1,327 vehicles is proposed, with access from both Boundary Road and Ormidale Street.

The application is for all residential use, although the applicant has also proposed a 33,000 sq. ft. “community amenity space” in the base of the two towers on Boundary Road, which has not been programmed. Staff are considering potential uses for this space and no decisions have been made.
