That new triplex on Queen Street West is a big deal for you
This week, city hall's building permits list dropped, and one item really stood out. Forget the interior alterations for a film studio out on Cantay Road – *pas très excitant*, that one, even if it did cost $60,465. The real story, the one that went through three levels of approval before it got to me and is still fascinating, is that new residential build in Ward 1.
We’re talking about a brand-new, two-storey detached dwelling with *three* units going up at 13 Queen Street West. The permit, BP 9NEW 25-7327 ARU, puts the value at $1,381,160. That's a significant investment in a single-family neighbourhood, and it speaks to the city's push for increased density and housing options, especially in established areas. Queen Street West, c’est not exactly a back alley. It shows how even small-scale projects are reshaping our residential landscape.
Here's what caught my eye: * **Permit Number:** BP 9NEW 25-7327 ARU * **Location:** 13 Queen Street West, Ward 1 * **Type:** Residential, 2-storey, 3 units * **Value:** $1,381,160
This isn't just about a new building; it's about how Ottawa is trying to fit more people into existing spaces without building outwards into our precious Greenbelt. The next step? Watching how quickly these units come onto the market and what that means for folks looking for a place to live in the west end.
