Almost forgot, the Union du Canada building in the Byward Market; built in 1967 as the head office of a French Canadian insurance company of the same name, Claridge homes wants to add 4 floors and convert it into a hotel. Due to neighbor complaints about height, the company is considering tearing it down and rebuild an identical building (re-clad version) but with lower floor plates (as an office building, the floor to ceiling height is significantly higher than regular hotels). The fate of the building is in the hands of the OMB (provincial body who can reverse City zoning decisions). Of course, the neighbors are also playing the "heritage" card.
