260 MacLaren St | 23m | 6f | Proposed

[urbanforest]

New application for a six story building at 260 MacLaren St. The site looks to be a parking lot now. I would hope for a more height, but better than surface parking.

Documents don’t seem to be up yet. https://devapps.ottawa.ca/en/applica...6-0004/details

When was the last time Claridge built a 7fl building?

Seems odd for them. Surely they could get more height out of this? 13 resident parking spaces at grade seems less than ideal.

Refreshing to see a parking lot being redeveloped instead of replacing existing housing.

Certainly small scale for Claridge, but an easy win being a quick, small scale project within zoning.

My initial thought was.. geez does Claridge need a quick cash infusion? A quick easy build that gets run through approval and shovels in the ground asap.

It's like asking one customer for a material deposit to finance another job. Certainly no contractor would ever do such a thing.

That's seems to be one theory I've seen running around.
