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 plan calls for a six-level underground parking lot with space for 168 vehicles as well as parking for 155 bicycles. The proposal also includes communal and outdoor amenity space.

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.
