The Next at Central Park [Merivale Rd] | ?m | up to 25f | Approved

[McC]

no one has proposed LRT on Baseline; but there is an EA underway for a Baseline BRT.

We have a thread for this project over here:

Anyone know what's going on with this? Permanently cancelled?

I pass by every so often and am disappointed this never got built. The giant parking lots would be great to be replaced with some good condos or apartments. Would have been nice to continue the Merivale retail strip up into this area, though do away with that winding road in the picture below that's almost parallel to Merivale.

That was a great project. It would even have been a great project for downtown. Not sure whatever happened to it.

[OTSkyline]

Not sure you can call this "downtown". Inner-city, sure... but not downtown. It's 8-9km from Parliament Hill.

I meant that it would have been a great project even if it were downtown, let alone the proposed suburban location. Sorry for the miss-understanding.

[OTSkyline]

Oh then yes, agree. It was a nice project for its location and something similar downtown would've been nice.

Think of something like this (minus some parking) on King Edward, Rideau St, Bank St South, etc...

I'd guess it's permanently cancelled. it's confusing, cause there are trailers and occasional unrelated tractors + a nice sales center. in my head they went back to the drawing board, and are coming back with more density.

Apparently there's a new phase coming in 2023.

Considering this thread started in 2011, things are going slo-mo.

[FutureWickedCity]

Nice, I thought this was dead in the water.

[RideauRat]

There’s tons of dirt and fenced off area with heavy equipment, does anybody know what’s going on?

I saw the huge mound of soil too. I'm wondering if it's a temporary holding location for the spoils of excavation at 150 Central Park Drive?

Still nothing yet.

[J.OT13]

Has Ashcroft done anything in the last 5 years? Are they still around? They completed Re, and then that was it.

they also own the Envie brand so can include those projects in recent completions (though i guess the little italy one is older than 5 years)

Right, forgot about that. Now that the Rideau buildings are complete, hoping to see them start something else soon.
