Sheppard Development is working on a unique land development project in Barrhaven, Ottawa. It involves dividing an expansive estate lot into four large residential lots. The existing home and two outbuildings will remain on the original property. Three new large lots will be created through a severance application.

While the severance process is being completed, the existing house will undergo a complete renovation. Currently, the house relies on a well and septic system and those will be decommissioned and it will be connected to municipal services for water and sewer. The home is heated with propane, and this will be replaced with natural gas.

All three new lots will have access to municipal water and sewer services, which will significantly increase their value. To fulfil a severance condition, one of the newly created lots will be connected to municipal water and sewer before being sold. The two remaining lots face onto Woodroffe Avenue and can be connected to municipal water and sewer by the new owners.
This land severance will create four highly desirable parcels of land in an established neighbourhood in Ottawa, with ample space for custom homes to be built by their new owners.
