Background

In 2014, Adi Developments submitted an application to the City of Burlington for a 28-storey condominium to be developed on a .136 hectare parcel of land at 374 Martha St. In March 2015, Adi Developments launched an OMB appeal.

At the OMB hearing on March 14, 2016, the developer told the OMB it had bought the property at 380 Martha St., and would include that property in a revised condominium development application. An adjournment was requested. On Wednesday, March 16 at 10 a.m., the OMB hearing resumed to formally accept the adjournment and establish a timeline for the process related to the appeals before the board.

The revised application for the proposed development at 374 and 380 Martha St. was submitted by the developer to the City of Burlington on June 30, 2016.
