Introduction

The City of St. John's is taking significant steps to enhance its housing availability by approving the construction of a new 85-unit apartment building in the city's west end. This four-storey development is slated to rise on the east side of Columbus Drive, adjacent to the well-known Residence at Littledale.

Project Approval and Conditions

While the project has received initial approval, the developer still has several conditions to fulfill, including rezoning requirements. One notable aspect of the plan is the utilization of the current Littledale entrance for access to the new building, which promises to streamline entry for future residents.

Parking Solutions

In a creative approach to address parking limitations—an area where the developer fell short of required spaces—an agreement has been made to share a shuttle service with the Residence at Littledale. This collaboration will help mitigate the lack of 10 parking spots, ensuring that residents have convenient access to transportation options.
