New retail and office building at Second and Bank<br />
By Joan Over<br />
Workers have started excavating<br />
for a two-storey retail<br />
and office building to<br />
be erected on Second Avenue<br />
near Bank Street. The<br />
building will be situated on<br />
what has been a vacant lot<br />
behind the Home Hardware<br />
Store.<br />
Developer Sal Khan of Avalon<br />
Mews Limited said the<br />
new building will be named<br />
Avalon Terrace. He said the<br />
exterior of the building<br />
will be pale grey stucco<br />
with maroon awnings at the<br />
windows, matching the exterior<br />
of the adjoining Avalon<br />
Mews building.<br />
Retail shops will occupy<br />
the ground floor of the new<br />
building and approximately<br />
5,000 square feet of office<br />
space will be available on<br />
the second storey. The project<br />
will include 12 underground<br />
parking spaces and 12<br />
surface parking spaces.<br />
Of the 76 neighbouring<br />
residents notified about the<br />
project, only one objected<br />
to offices and shops on the<br />
site.<br />
Original plans for development<br />
of the site included<br />
converting the former Co-op<br />
Garage, now part of the Home<br />
Hardware Store, along with<br />
part of the vacant lot, into<br />
38 residential units. Lack<br />
of funding from the provincial<br />
government and objections<br />
to the height of the<br />
building caused those plans<br />
to be revised.<br />
"The <strong>Glebe</strong> Communl<br />
ociation couldn't siJ<br />
five-storey project/<br />
said, "and a residet<br />
building with only 1<br />
stories didn't make<br />
economically."<br />
After several mont<br />
planning, the develc<br />
showed their current<br />
to the GCA.<br />
Khan said, "We<br />
proposal to the comi<br />
association and it 1<br />
within the guidelinE<br />
<strong>Glebe</strong> Neighbourhood<br />
also fell within thE<br />
We weren't asking fc<br />
zoning changes. Ne]<br />

the alderman had ob'<br />

Jeff Sugarman and some of his staff stand outside the new exterior of the<br />
Herb and Spice Shop on Third Avenue. The building was recently refaced<br />
with brick to blend with Kamal's Restaurant which adjoins it. Since this<br />
photo was taken an attractive awning was also added to the shop. Sugarman<br />
was the first to introduce the bulk-food concept to the Ottawa area. His Herb<br />
and Spice Shop on Third Avenue is open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to<br />
9 p.m.<br />
