Ironclad Developments Inc. has submitted a proposal to develop a multi-family housing project on a 2.3-acre (0.92 ha) site in a new subdivision in Orléans, south of Innes Rd and east of Mer Bleue Rd. Ironclad will develop this site at 1001 Rue Noella Leclair as part of a master-planned subdivision being developed by Innes Shopping Centres Limited, an affiliate of Smart Centres Real Estate Investment Trust. The subdivision (D07-16-18-006) received Draft Approval in July 2022 and Ironclad has entered into an agreement to purchase the subject property from Smart Centres, with the purchase scheduled to close in August 2023.
Ironclad’s proposed development comprises two six-storey buildings with a combined total of 157 dwelling units, offering a selection of suite types and sizes as summarized below:
Unit type__Bldg A__Bldg B__Total
Bachelor_____6_____6____12
1-Bedroom__19____29____48
2-Bedroom__27____48____75
3-Bedroom__22_____0____22
179 resident and 16 visitor parking spaces will be provided in a mix of underground and surface facilities.
None of the surrounding parcels in the Smart Centres subdivision is currently developed. From discussions with the City’s File Lead, we understand that the parcel west of the site (across Noella LeClair Way) is owned by another developer with plans to build a similar mid-rise multifamily housing project. The parcel to the north of that (at the southwest corner of Noella LeClair Way and Roger Pharand Dr) is to be developed for a retirement home. The parcel to the north of the site (across Lady Pellatt Dr) is subject of an active site plan application by Extendicare for a long-term care facility. Development plans for the parcels to the east and northeast of the site (on either side of Lady Pellatt St) are currently unknown. The large parcel to the south of the site (on either side of the future Vanguard Dr extension) is not part of the Smart Centres subdivision. Its owners are in pre-application consultations with the City, but no information about their plans is available, as the consultation process is confidential.
