What your city hall just approved for Ward 1
Okay, so I’m looking at the latest building permits from City Hall, and one in particular really jumped out. We’re talking a brand new, two-storey detached dwelling with *three* separate units going up at 13 Queen St W in Ward 1. This isn't just a quick reno; the permit, #BP 9NEW 25-7327 ARU, is valued at a cool $1,381,160. That's a serious investment.
The real story is never on the Hill – it’s always just off it. And what this permit really tells us is about the ongoing push for more housing density, especially in established neighbourhoods. Ward 1, that’s Orléans, right? So we’re seeing intensification happening beyond the usual downtown core, which is interesting for anyone trying to navigate Ottawa’s housing market.
Here's the breakdown: * **Location:** 13 Queen St W, Ward 1 (Orléans) * **Permit Type:** New Residential Dwelling with Three Units * **Value:** $1,381,160 * **Permit Number:** BP 9NEW 25-7327 ARU
This isn't just some small project; it's a significant addition to the housing stock in that area. It's the kind of thing that makes you wonder what other residential developments are quietly moving through the system. Keep an eye on how these multi-unit builds start to shape the feel of our residential streets.
