The Area

Summary

Labrie Avenue

Labrie Avenue is a transitioning neighborhood that is heavily influenced by proximity to the Cyrville LRT station. City of Ottawa planning policies call for intensification on the street and greater intensification on Cyrville Road of up to 30 storeys. This neighborhood has mixed use businesses, post-war bungalows, and commercial buildings throughout making it an active area with many different users. Plenty of services are nearby, from the big box stores on Innes Road (Home Depot, Rona, Homesense, etc) to the retail and grocery shopping at Trainyards (Farm Boy, LCBO, SAIL, Walmart, the Gap, Banana Republic, etc) as well as the St. Laurent Shopping centre (the Bay, Cinema, etc). The Cyrville LRT is the showstopper in terms of transit, but this site is close to the 417 on ramp, and a short drive to the airport, and downtown. Great opportunity to grow with this community!

  • Labrie Avenue is surrounded by zoning policy for even greater intensification of 16 to 30 storey developments to increase density and create a vibrant mixed-use community around the Cyrville LRT Station.
  • Highrise construction with more than 30 storeys is underway a block away on Labelle Street (Morley Hopner Construction).
  • A notable project going through SPCA approval is by Westrich Pacific Corp at 1125 Cyrville Rd. 
    • A multifamily development (link to project) is proposed consisting of 2 buildings with total 354 dwelling units in two phases. Phase one is a 6-storey building containing 209 units; Phase two is 20 storeys with 156 units.
  • The city has indicated there will be a stormwater upgrade along Labrie within the year, which will support the release of the holding provision on the rezoning approval for Labrie. 
  • There is no parking requirement for development on the site.
