This is my first time attempting to create a thread, so I hope I've done this right.

I searched an could not find a thread that already existed for this one.
In the February Glebe Report (page 10), there is an article announcing that Centretown Citizens Ottawa Corporation (CCOC) is planning to build a 96 unit affordable housing complex at the corner of Bank and Chamberlain, currently occupied by city owned parking lot, and the business 'Reliable Parts'.

It says there will be 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments in a mid-rise with street facing commercial. They are hoping to break ground by end of 2026.

Not a bad spot at all for a mid-rise.

Cool! Very interesting. That's a noisy hectic corner but otherwise great central location. Look forward to seeing some renders.

Looks like you did it right.

This is definitely a good development and an ideal spot, though I will miss the "Reliable Parts" building, and the service that they provide. Not so many of those businesses in central Ottawa. But in terms of this building, much needed housing and another step towards creating critical mass in that strip north of Central Park.

The hollowing out of retail and specialty business in the core is a problem, and at some point someone in power and in business needs to think about it.
