Jokes about the kindergarten level design aside, this is incredible for downtown NF. They have so much potential in that little historic downtown but it's just not even remotely a population centre. Hopefully they can boost business around there which will support their goals of making Niagara a...

Just wanted to provide an update here, the Dollarama and Crunch Fitness have relocated from beside the Value Village to beside the new No Frills. I'm not sure what the plan is for Value Village itself, but the construction of the residential portion has been pushed back to a 2027 or 2028 start...

Guelph was desperate for this. 2 new ice pads, a double gym with a walking track, an 8-lane 25 metre pool and a leisure pool, and a few multipurpose community rooms. It's part of South End Park and beside a catholic high school, both of which opened in the early 2000s. A community centre was...

Oakville does this because they're desperately trying to hit housing targets without approving anything the NIMBYs don't want. And by the way, the 407 transitway is planned for the 2040s, and the Neyegawa/James Snow bridge hasn't even been confirmed by Halton Region that it's even planned, let...

It appears the building only has 3 units, with each unit taking up the entire floor, and parking at ground level.

I was surprised to see a new Oakville thread considering I skimmed through the development applications list just last week, but I can't actually find this anywhere on the town's website. It's not under the ward 2 developments page, it's not on the city-wide developments map, and searching the...

Absolutely! London in particular is way more influential to the growth of southern Ontario than people realize. The Urban Toronto database has projects from Windsor to Kingston and Fort Erie to Huntsville, but the farther you get from the GTA, the more influential a project has to be. We're not...

32-storey building proposed in the northeast corner of Kent Street and Ridout Street just outside the edge of London's designated downtown core. A total of 260 units are proposed, a mix of one and two bedrooms. 316 total vehicle parking spaces across 3 below-grade and 3 above-grade parking...

Four 14-storey buildings proposed across from the Victoria Hospital's main campus in London, near Wellington Road. Each building is proposed to have just over 200 units for 862 total across the complex, ranging from 1 to 3 bedrooms. Two of the buildings are connected by common amenity space. No...

Two 6-storey residential buildings proposed in the rapidly growing south/southwestern area of London, near the intersection of Wonderland and Wharncliffe. 160 total units are proposed with 80 in each building, both having a mix of 1, 2, and 3 bedroom units. The proposal includes 1 vehicle...

Based on the most recent elevations, we're getting the brick asylum version :)

An existing condo complex in northern Niagara Falls is looking to re-zone to permit the construction of a 12-storey, 94-unit building, followed by 4-storey vertical additions to the two existing 2-storey buildings, bringing the total unit count for the site from 49 to 202. A total of 243...

New pre-app in Burlington for "a 25-storey mixed use building with approximately 284 residential units, including a mix of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom units." Not too much other information at the moment since it's a pre application. The site is currently two 2-storey commercial buildings, both old...

Project has been canceled, not enough units sold. Rumour has it the 2 and 3 bedroom units were mostly sold but the 1 bedroom units that make up the vast majority of the towers just weren't sellable at the price they were asking. People who want to live here don't want tiny shoebox units, and...

Yes, not sure if it's operating yet, but construction is pretty well done
