Windsor city council has given the green light for a large apartment complex in the city's east end — despite the objections and reservations of some nearby residents.

On Monday, council approved zoning bylaw amendments that will allow a developer to construct multiple residential buildings on Banwell Road near McHugh Street. One will be six storeys tall, one will be eight storeys, and two will be 10 storeys.

The current phase of the project will result in 408 new units, along with at least 600 parking spaces.

The developer's future plans involve more buildings and hundreds of more units.
