One of Ottawa’s largest residential landlords says it plans to level a large segment of a south-end neighbourhood, forcing some 105 residents out of their rental homes.
Timbercreek Communities, the real estate arm of the Toronto-based global asset manager, said Tuesday that one-quarter of the 150 affected wooden townhomes are reaching the end of their life cycle and “are no longer viable.” Because of interconnected infrastructure, Timbercreek says all 150 homes – which are located between Heron Road, Baycrest Drive and Sandalwood Drive – need to be torn down by the end of 2018.
The company says this represents nine per cent of the 1,665 homes in the Heron Gate community.
