Ottawa's Planning and Housing Committee approves two high-rise towers.

The City of Ottawa's Planning and Housing Committee has approved a project to build two high-rise towers on Baseline Road, directly across from the Central Experimental Farm, despite concerns from the federal government about the effect shadows from the towers would have on agricultural research. A proposed project by Theberge Homes at 780 Baseline Rd. includes three towers at the Lonestar Plaza site. While the first 24-storey tower was previously approved, the second and third towers, 24 and 32 storeys, respectively, have faced further analysis due to the shadow concerns.
