20 Ottawa Street North | 26, 6, 6 fl | Proposed
#3
I agree, but it's likely that the developer didn't want to build any more structure than the 3 buildings on this particular plot of land. Since it's mixed use, some level of surface parking is alright IMO. If it were 100% residential, then a parking garage would make more sense as the rest of the land area could be used for green/amenity space etc. Ultimately, adding another 464 residential units and some commercial space so close to downtown/transit is great during a housing crisis, rather than letting it remain a used car lot. Zehr Group seems to always do good work and Edge Architects has done some of the best work in Waterloo Region, so if approved, this will be great even with a bit of surface parking.
