299 Carling Avenue

Located 15 minutes southwest of Parliament Hill, 299 Carling Avenue is a 1.4 hectares (3.4 acres) vacant parcel of land that Canada Lands acquired from Public Services and Procurement Canada in 2017. Canada Lands is developing the site by way of a joint venture with the Algonquins of Ontario (AOO). The management committee overseeing the joint venture has equal representation from both organizations, with Canada Lands acting as project manager. 

In the fall of 2020, Canada Lands completed its public engagement process to inform the property’s development concept. In December 2020, the Company submitted its application for municipal by-law amendment to the City of Ottawa’s planning committee and in January 2022, the by-law amendment was approved. 299 Carling Avenue envisions a 55,742 square meter (600,000 square feet) mixed-use residential and retail/commercial development with building heights ranging from 8 to 20 storeys. The site is planned for approximately 600 residential units, with a portion dedicated to affordable housing.

A public park will be constructed and conveyed to the City by the partnership of Canada Lands Company and the AOO. The park and open space designs will follow design guidelines that respect the rich Algonquin history and culture.

Canada Lands is in negotiations to complete the sale of the 299 Carling Avenue site in 2025.
