A major Ottawa developer is looking to build a 27-storey highrise with 210 rental apartment units near the Carlingwood Shopping Centre.
In a development application recently filed with the city, Claridge Homes says its proposed residential tower at 1995 Carling Ave., about 350 metres east of Carlingwood Shopping Centre, will feature a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments. Two low-rise dwellings currently occupy the site.

The development is expected to include about 230 apartment units, a two-level underground parking garage with 212 spaces and 10,000 square feet of retail space.
