Devapps has changed to "resubmission deemed adequate".
Design has been changed to respond to a request "City of Ottawa planning staff requested to provide for a 5x5 m sight triangle free of any obstructions at the northwest corner of Churchill Avenue North and Byron Avenue intersection." Looks like a change front door location. Design changes were also required in the parking garage resulting in 2 lost parking spaces (now 31 spaces instead of 33).

Glad to see this one is progressing after it went quiet for a while. That vacant building is an eyesore. And I like the design of this.

It is a bit better, I do wish the city would force retail on ground level or at least unit layouts that can accept retail for any development over 3 stories on "mainstreets". Frankly I don't think those ground level units are particularly attractive on such busy intersections but these small tucked away shops really add to the neighbourhood in a positive way.

Agreed, seems strange not to have ground floor retail there

New look. I love the curves and the deep green accents that remind me a little bit of the Parliamentary district. It lost a floor, but this building will be surprisingly prominent due to it's location on top of the hill.

Loving this one. Agreed though, just one retail unit on Churchill would put this over the edge.

It's bizarre they wouldn't put in retail when it's at the edge of Wellington west

This is core Westboro, its next door to Equator and Lululemon and a 2 min walk to MEC. It’s bananas they didn’t put retail.
