UrbanSolutions Planning & Land Development Consultants Inc. is the authorized planning consultant acting on behalf of Cambridge Development Inc. (Owner) to prepare and submit applications for an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment for the lands municipally known as 130 Water Street North, in the City of Cambridge. The proposed infill development entails a thirty-seven (37) storey multiple dwelling with 253 units and a twenty-eight (28) storey hotel building with 146 hotel suites connected through a three (3) storey shared podium. The proposal includes 264 structured parking spaces and 76 bicycle parking spaces on site in addition to 354 parking spaces contained in a parking structure adjacent to the subject lands. To facilitate this proposal, Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications were submitted to the City of Cambridge on March 5, 2021.
