Ottawa\u2019s Minto Group is proposing to build a subdivision on the southern edge of Barrhaven, containing 942 residential units.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The development, which would be an expansion of the company’s existing Quinn’s Pointe subdivision, is proposed for a 47-hectare area of land on Barnsdale Road, just east of Highway 416.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to a planning rationale document for the project, the area is surrounded by existing and developing low- and medium-density residential subdivisions to the north and east, with farmland to the south. To the west, on the other side of the highway, are a variety of industrial uses.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The new subdivision would include 448 single detached homes, 396 townhouses and 98 back-to-back townhouses. Also included in the proposal is a stormwater management pond, retained woodlot and parklands.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe proposed development is envisioned as an expansion of the existing Quinn\u2019s Pointe community, located immediately east of the subject lands,\u201d the document said. \u201cThe proposed development will also co-locate the new municipal park with the existing Pointe Park, expanding the size of the existing parkette to a 2.27 hectare neighbourhood park.\u201d<\/p>\n
The project would be completed in three phases, beginning in the north and progressing toward Barnsdale Road. The first phase would include the park and stormwater management pond.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In addition to the Quinn\u2019s Pointe community, Minto Group is working on a nearby development in Manotick called Mahogany at 108 Moretto Ct. According to the company\u2019s website, the first three phases of the project are complete, with the fourth currently under construction.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In total, Mahogany is expected to create 1,400 residential units, with some homes containing up to seven bedrooms. It will also create new green spaces, a six-acre park and a school.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ottawa\u2019s Minto Group is proposing to build a new subdivision at the northwest edge of Barrhaven, containing 942…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":815978,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194295],"tags":[49,48,20739],"class_list":["post-815977","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ottawa","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-ottawa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/815977","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=815977"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/815977\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/815978"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=815977"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=815977"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=815977"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
