A five-tower, 1,950-unit development would be the next phase under Claridge Homes’ blueprint for the east end of LeBreton Flats, according to plans filed at city hall.

The so-called East Flats project would add 164,500 square metres of floor space along Lett and Booth streets, northeast of the Pimisi LRT station under construction on Booth Street. The proposal includes affordable housing, a food store and other commercial space.

Claridge’s existing phases of residential development on LeBreton Flats are over two blocks on the easternmost parcel of land. The developer, which needs planning amendments approval from city council for the next phase, purchased the land from the National Capital Commission in 2005.

Plans for the next phase have been in the works since late 2016. Claridge has met with city staff about the proposed design and has held a public open house.

Since then, Claridge has decreased the proposed height of the tallest of the five buildings to 45 storeys; the preliminary concept had 55 storeys. The other four buildings on the 2.1-hectare site are proposed to be 30 storeys for two buildings and 25 storeys for the remaining two. The building heights don’t interfere with the regulated view corridors to Parliament Hill, the application says.

Claridge Homes’ development plan also calls for a park straddling the aqueduct, connecting the lands to the south along Albert Street.


The blueprint also plots a city-maintained park straddling an aqueduct, which cuts through LeBreton Flats.

“The East Flats neighbourhood is positioned to create a link to the City of Ottawa,” according to the planning rationale filed with the application. “Its ‘empty’ state will be transformed into a sought-after recreation and service area for its residents.”

Claridge’s development application is on track to be considered by council’s planning committee in June.

The land around Pimisi station is quickly taking shape on paper, but construction timelines are likely to vary across projects.

The city has a planning application filed for a library district southeast of Pimisi station. The application proposes building parameters, such as height limits, but there isn’t a developer yet. The city and Library and Archives Canada are building a super library at 557 Wellington St., just west of Albert Street and Bronson Avenue.

The NCC and RendezVous LeBreton Group, whose main partners are the Ottawa Senators and Trinity Developments, continue to negotiate the development deal for the central and western parts of LeBreton Flats. RendezVous wants to build an arena for the Senators and other entertainment attractions, surrounded by mixed-use development.
