The NCC’s board of directors gave the green light Thursday to the final master concept plan for LeBreton Flats and revealed the three groups that have been shortlisted to build out the first major parcel of land at the prime development site west of downtown.
The agency’s master plan would see 4,000 housing units and nearly a million square feet of retail and office space built over the next 35 years at LeBreton Flats, along with more than 30 acres of parks.
The blueprint calls for four distinct “districts,” including a mixed-use neighbourhood near Albert Street that would be anchored by the future home of the Ottawa Public Library and could also feature a “potential event centre,” according to a 175-page document outlining the plan.

One of Ottawa’s most prominent architecture firms has drawn up some well-thought-out blueprints for benevolence by matching all new donations made to four local charities that it has identified as vital to the community.
Hobin Architecture is supporting BGC Ottawa (Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa), Cornerstone Housing for Women, Multifaith Housing Initiative and The Ottawa Mission. It has pledged to match donations, up to a total of $10,000 per beneficiary, made by the end of June.
To stimulate new support, the company is asking that the giving comes from individuals who have not donated to these charities in the past. By all means, donors should name-drop Hobin Architecture when they’re donating their dollars in order to double the impact.

OTTAWA It’s a grand plan for LeBreton Flats. What is one of the most valuable parcels of land in Ottawa, just west of downtown, is one step closer to development. The National Capital Commission unveiled the final concept plan for LeBreton Flats on Thursday, along with announcing the shortlisted groups to develop, The Lebreton Flats Library Parcel. The one hectare space, a strip of land near the new Ottawa Public Library central library branch and Library and Archives Canada building, will be the first in the redevelopment of LeBreton Flats. The NCC says three development teams have been shortlisted to compete in the bidding process to develop the land. A main requirement for the parcel of land is 600 residential units, with 180 designated for affordable housing.
