Ottawa developer and property manager Colonnade BridgePort has filed a rezoning application to allow a 21-storey residential high-rise that would replace a historic Argyle Avenue office building.
The property at 100 Argyle Ave. – located between Metcalfe and Elgin streets, north of Catherine Street and the Queensway – is directly adjacent to the Ottawa Police Service headquarters. It’s currently occupied by a surface parking lot and 2.5-storey office building that’s home to Coldwell Banker Rhodes & Co. and other businesses.
Under the proposed development, the façade of the heritage building would be preserved. The Argyle Avenue property is currently zoned for a maximum height of nine storeys.
