Councillor, community group concerned about ‘public benefits’ at Ritchcraft towers

By Joe Lofaro, Ottawa Metro News, February 9, 2015

A community group that is already worried what the construction of Ottawa’s tallest building in Little Italy will do to the neighbourhood says it is “absurd” for the city to consider Ritchcraft spending more than $1 million to bury hydro wires at 845 Carling Ave. a “public benefit.” The owner of the site will ask the city’s planning committee Tuesday to approve the 55-storey condo tower and two smaller towers (45 storeys and 18 storeys tall). The combined high-ride residential-commercial complex would add a combined residential space of 1,100 units. via Councillor, community group concerned about ‘public benefits’ at Ritchcraft towers | Metro.
