With Rural General Industrial zoning & a Village designation in Ottawa's Official Plan, this site offers exceptional flexibility for a range of future uses. The lots triangular shape & prime location among rural residential dwellings, light industrial buildings, & vacant lands provide endless possibilities for growth & diversification. A newly built 1500-home subdivision by Mattamy is underway directly across the street & a planned distillery nearby enhances the area's long-term potential. The northwest portion of the site, approximately 0.8 acres, has been fully prepared for development.

All major studies - environmental, transportation, engineering, & planning - have been completed, & a delegated authority report has been received from the City of Ottawa. This significantly reduces the planning burden for a new owner, allowing for a fast-tracked site plan control agreement process with minimal additional effort.
