Waterford Senior Living is a family-owned and operated business which offers a range of independent and enhanced care accommodations and services for seniors through its established retirement community in Ottawa. This proposal aims to respond to an increasing demand for housing options for an aging population. It is proposed to construct a fourteen-storey retirement home addition which is to be connected to the existing building by a one-storey link at ground level. The addition will contain approximately 144 dwelling units and a variety of amenities that will serve all residents of the complex.
The addition will have a gross floor area of approximately 8,860m2, contributing to a total gross floor area of approximately 15,570m2 for the entire complex. The ground floor of the addition will consist of common areas for residents, such as a pool with changing rooms, multipurpose lounge, casual dining room and bar, card lounge and spacious lobby, in addition to certain administrative and operational functions, including offices and the central waste storage. The remaining floors will contain residential suites with one to two bedrooms. The suites are designed for independent living and are equipped with conventional kitchens.
