The committee also approved plans for four new condo towers on two separate sites.
The first two-tower project, at the corner of Sparks and Bay streets, includes a 17-storey hotel to replace the defunct one currently on the site (it used to be an independent called the National, and before that a Delta). The owner, Morguard Corp., wants to tear it and an adjoining low-rise apartment building down and build a 23-storey condo tower and a new 27-storey hotel.
Elsewhere, Trinity Development Group won approval for a pair of condo towers where the Ottawa Torah Institute High School (among other things) used to be. The two 25-storey buildings at 151-153 Chapel St., which have been reduced in height from what was initially envisioned, required a rezoning to exceed established height limits.
Trinity appears to want the city to open the intersection of Chapel and Beausoleil, but some residents, community groups and Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury are opposed to such a move.
