Local developer Phoenix Homes is asking the city to make way for a nine-storey mixed-use building it’s proposed for Ottawa’s Chinatown.
Phoenix has asked the city to rezone what is currently a parking lot at 770 Somerset St., at Lebreton Street, for the building, which would be twice the size of what’s allowed there now.
It’s proposing a restaurant and grocery store on the ground floor with the remainder of the building used for residential space, according to documents filed with the city. The building will have a total of 75 units.
