Colonnade Bridgeport looks to add more retail amenities on vacant Kanata North land

Local Ciena and BlackBerry QNX employees could see several retail stores appear outside their office if city councillors give the green light to a development application later this month.

On Tuesday, the city’s planning committee will consider a request by Ottawa-based property manager and developer Colonnade Bridgeport to rezone its two-acre property at 5045 Innovation Dr., at Terry Fox Drive.

The landowner wants to build a commercial plaza consisting of three single-storey retail buildings. While reports submitted late last year say tenants have not been confirmed, plans for two of the retail buildings include a drive-through, suggesting the developer is targeting fast-food restaurants or coffee shops.

Colonnade Bridgeport acquired the property after the city determined in 2012 that it wasn’t needed for its plans to construct a new OC Transpo park-and-ride lot on the adjacent land.
