A developer is asking the city for permission to build a nine-storey tower on Norman Street in Ottawa’s Little Italy.
Tamarack Developments had originally proposed an 18-storey tower at the site. That proposal “was not well-received by the community” and did not get the support of city staff, according to a revised planning rationale filed with the city in late October.

The building would have 117 units, half of which are to be two-bedroom units. Of the remaining units, 32 per cent will have one bedroom and 10 per cent will be studios.
The building would have two storeys of underground parking, providing 94 spaces.
