Kanata Woods Inc. is proposing the development of a six-storey mixed-use building at 180 Kanata Avenue. This property is being conveyed by the City of Ottawa as surplus lands for development along Kanata Avenue. The building is comprised of 304 residential dwelling units as well as approximately 1,562m2 of retail, café restaurant and public gym uses along Kanata Avenue and wrapping the corner along the future public lane, contributing to a total gross floor area of approximately 25,782m2. Shared amenity areas are proposed on the ground floor and open onto the interior courtyard which features a pool and landscaping elements. At the top of the building, a rooftop terrace overlooks the rear yard which features a community garden and south facing solar panels.
The proposed development evokes a mainstreet character along Kanata Avenue with slightly raised entrances and pedestrian walkways. Steps and landscaping transition down to the public sidewalk. Along the eastern portion of the building, a privately-owned public space (POPS) will animate the laneway, with street furniture and landscaping elements.
A total of 397 parking spaces are to be provided on site. At-grade parking will be available for visitors and commercial tenants to rear of building, which will accommodate need for off-street parking. The rest of the parking will be provided in two levels of underground parking. In addition to this, a total of 237 bicycle parking spaces will be provided both internally and externally.
