LaSalle approves plans for 697-home Newman project
LaSalle council approved plans for two 16-storey residential buildings on Newman Boulevard and advanced a separate six-building proposal in LaSalle-Ouest.
LaSalle borough council has approved plans to replace a commercial building on Newman Boulevard with two 16-storey buildings containing 697 homes and ground-floor commercial space.
The approved plans cover 7333 Newman Boulevard and 7401–7475 Newman Boulevard. The borough says the project must meet requirements for universal accessibility, protection of views toward Mount Royal and architectural integration.
A second housing proposal advances
At its September 14 meeting, council also adopted a second draft resolution for six multi-family residential buildings on land between Wanklyn and Jean-Milot streets. That proposal is not a final construction approval. The borough describes it as a redevelopment of a former industrial site with housing, green space and measures supporting sustainable transportation.
Council also authorized a $5-million allocation from accumulated surplus to reduce the additional tax burden associated with debt for the renovation and expansion of Espace Treize, the former LaSalle city hall at 13 Strathyre Avenue.
