National Capital Commission
“It’s been a dream of the National Capital Commission since the 1980’s: Breathe some life into Sparks Street with a distinctive new building where people live. Now the commission feels it finally has the right plan that will make it happen. The commission has chosen David Choo’s Ashcroft Urban Developments as the developer for the property, with a design from Ottawa architect Roderick Lahey. Peter McCourt, director of real estate management at the NCC, said that if people live on Sparks Street or occupy hotel rooms, businesses will operate to support them and the street will become more interesting and lively. We’re quite excited about this,” said Mr. McCourt.
