Municipal staff are recommending that the city’s planning committee approve a proposed zoning change that would allow a new east-end apartment project near Blair Station, calling the transit-oriented development “good planning.”
The second phase of RioCan REIT’s 2280 City Park Dr. development – the former site of the southern portion of the Gloucester Silver City Shopping Centre – would see a 20-storey residential building added to the site next to a 23-storey tower already in progress. Future phases of the project would see three more towers fill the 7.1-acre site, ranging in heights between 16 storeys and 18 storeys.
The second phase tower, which requires a five-metre zoning amendment to allow heights up to 65 metres, would feature 208 units. When finished, the development will see 840 total residential units as well as commercial space.
