The City of Ottawa invites you to attend an open house for the Château Laurier addition.The presentations will begin promptly at 7 p.m., so please arrive by 6:45 p.m. 

By attending, you will have the opportunity to learn more about the development proposal, ask the applicant’s team and City staff questions and provide feedback. Your feedback will assist City staff in writing reports for the heritage and site plan control applications. Staff expect to present the heritage report to the Built Heritage Sub-Committee and make a recommendation on the site plan this spring. 

The current development proposal is different from the plans submitted in winter 2017.The design now includes: 

• • One eight-storey building instead of two buildings of 11- and 12-storeys 
  
• • A setback at the sixth storey • Glass cladding with slim metal projections 
  
• • A long glass corridor along the north side of the building facing Major’s Hill Park 
  
• • An open courtyard separating the historic building and the addition on the Rideau Canal side of the building 
  
• • More publicly accessible space on the ground floor 
  

Visit ottawa.ca/devapps on February 9 to view the plans and studies that have been submitted as part of the revised proposal.

Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please contact the File Lead by Thursday, February 21.
