A developer is asking the city for permission to build a nine-storey tower on Norman Street in Ottawa’s Little Italy.
Tamarack Developments had originally proposed an 18-storey tower at the site. That proposal “was not well-received by the community” and did not get the support of city staff, according to a revised planning rationale filed with the city in late October.

The building would have two storeys of underground parking, providing 94 spaces.
