Project
Manor Park Management (MPM) has taken the initial steps towards the redevelopment of its largest residential holding located in Ottawa’s east end. While generally referred to as Manor Park Estates, this holding is actually two quite distinct communities which are more accurately identified as “Manor Park Gardens” (north end) and “Manor Park Heights” (south end). The Gardens are located north of Hemlock Road on both the east and west sides of St. Laurent Boulevard.
The Heights are located primarily along both sides of Brittany Drive extending from St. Laurent Boulevard to Montréal Road. These are well known Ottawa neighbourhoods developed in the 1940’s located near Ottawa’s downtown core. In total, the redevelopment area is approximately 35 acres in size and contains roughly 650 dwelling units in a mixture of low-rise building forms.
Development through a phased approach strategy while taking care of our tenants
Being in an older area of the City of Ottawa amongst established mature neighborhoods, these lands have significant potential for redevelopment. However, this location also means that the design and implementation of this project must be very cognizant of the adjacent community and ensure these stakeholders are involved in the design process from the outset. With this in mind, Manor Park Management wishes to proceed with a “development through a phased approach strategy”. This means preparing a concept plan for the entire holding and then proceeding on a parcel-by-parcel approach over many years. The idea is to begin to redevelop where it makes most sense based on existing infrastructure. This strategy will benefit existing tenants by providing a longer-term view of their options as the project unfolds. Many of these tenants will be able to relocate and therefore remain in the neighbourhood in a unit on site.
