The city’s planning committee on Tuesday voted in favour of a 14-storey tower on
Rideau Street despite concerns such an approval would erode public confidence in
the value of neighbourhood design plans. Richcraft Homes wants to construct
buildings of seven and 14 storeys at 538, 544 and 560 Rideau St., as well as a 3
1/2-storey low-rise apartment at 501 Besserer St., which is a slim parcel of
land connected to the Rideau Street property. via
