New Newmarket Housing Good For Town Growth

Newmarket, Ontario, Canada has recently been getting caught up with its quota of "needed' added new housing stock with some new apartments now being readied for 2017 rental. That's good news for some of the next generation of younger residents to have an option to stay living in town. With construction well underway, the multi storied units should be ready early in the new year for viewing is my guess.

Meantime, on Main St., the clock tower development, continues to be a proposal in progress, although some way is yet to go before any shovels hit any ground, but when and if they do, it will be a decision the town has long awaited.

The Forrest Group (from Markham) proposal, supported by the town's mayor, as I understand, is for 7 stories, while the local establishment B.I.A. and a number of vocal residents support the original zoning allowance of 3 stories being added.

Recently there was a bit of action on the face of the building sparking some speculation that something was afoot but for now it seems they just want to bare some of the original bricking which had been covered with some unsightly looking aluminum and such. Hmmm..Never judge a book!

It's not clear yet is what type - condo or rentals - will go in at the clock tower location on Main St, (all plans keep the tower intact) however should they wait too long, with new legislation coming down the pipes requiring all new housing built to include 10% "affordable" units, they best move fast.

Watch for this Davis Dr. property down the pipes

I'll support whatever type or size an Adjudicator eventually decides this issue on and look forward to help filling it up and linking your clients to it when it arrives... whatever it be!

Tom's Top 10 Real Estate guess? 5 stories w a 10% mixed income model....And further down the pipes - the Yonge & Davis corridor.

House of Hope - The Rental Resurrection

WAS RENTED BY THIS BLOG/ Now available again

Maybe you've driven by the property on Leslie St. just north of Green Lane many a time and briefly thought to yourself,

" I wonder what's in there?"

Until recently when it became vacant, I would have said its been a mental health rehab, a centre for youths & before that, Cross- Links for 11 years, providing housing and meds to residents with mental health and addictions issues. At first glance, the old red brick house looks deceptively small, but with additions, holds room for an office and 15 self contained units within it's 8,000 square feet.

CBC dropped by in 2011

The basement, illuminated naturally like every room in the house, has been converted into a dining area and kitchen with additional storage areas and laundry room. Outside, magnificent trees adorn the grounds which stretch back east from the house. Looking to the north you see a wheat and sometimes corn field complete with picture perfect barn. When you've spent time there, a certain serenity seems to envelope you, and it's not hard to believe its been a place for  healing of the minds and souls for many a year. In it's own way, this building has served the community and society in a much bigger way than credit is given - especially when you know the owner could easily have sold such a property for fat profit to developers but did not wish to. In fact it has been his mission, almost, to keep it functioning in a mind healing capacity for people in need of such servicing throughout his tenure. For over 50 years now it's remained a retreat or home of aid of some type. But times change.

Homeless until put to work

Each room has some natural lighting and hardwood floors

Sometimes we incorporates media attention like arranging a CBC story to draw attention to a location to find the right operators and tenants. Hopefully not needed this time!
