A Gatineau developer wants to construct a two-building project near Carleton University that would feature a 26-storey mixed-use highrise with a large student residence component.
In a recent planning application, Katasa Group says the development at the corner of Carling and Bronson avenues would be built in two phases, with the highrise constructed first, followed by another nine-storey apartment complex.
The 26-storey tower would include a four-storey podium with more than 80 rental units targeted at students and an additional 150 rental suites in the floors above.

The proposed highrise’s 82-metre height exceeds current zoning limits, which range from 11 metres to 30 metres depending on where the building is located. The builder is also requesting zoning relief to allow for decreased setbacks.
