Downtown Charlottetown properties set for demolition



The wrecking ball could come in less than two weeks for nine properties on Chestnut and Passmore streets in Charlottetown.

Developer Philip O'Halloran says he's happy to see his proposal for the area pass first and second reading by city council.

Third and final reading should come at the regular monthly meeting in May.

"We did a lot of homework on this project,'' O'Halloran told the media following council's meeting Monday. "This goes back nearly a year when we knew there was support for this development.''

Despite the fact council hasn't officially approved the project, it has already granted O'Halloran a demolition permit so he can proceed with that phase whenever he wants. The properties coming down include 49, 51, 57, 59 and 61 Chestnut Street and 18, 26-30, 32 and 34 Passmore Street.
At some point, he will begin work on a new four-storey mixed use building with 48 dwelling units, 10 home occupations and 4,766 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor that could include a daycare and grocery outlet.

He is also entering into a development agreement with the city, outlining the types of commercial uses to be permitted and final building design will be reviewed.

Parking will be underground and Island Waste Management Corporation bins will be stored inside and won't dot the landscape.

O'Halloran says the process started two years ago when "serious problems with the occupants of the properties and the overall state of repair of the properties had been called into question as to the health and safety of the buildings''.

He took members of the planning department and council on a tour.

Howard Coles of Coles Associates also toured the homes and said that in his professional opinion demolition was the best option.

Public meetings were then held.

O'Halloran said there was overwhelming support with neighbourhood residents although others spoke about the need for subsidized housing.

O'Halloran says he's more than happy to discuss that idea for any other area.

It should also be noted that subsidized housing is a provincial government matter, not a city issue.

It will take more than a year before construction is complete.

All but one of the nine properties slated for demolition has been vacated.

Coun. Mitchell Tweel, who represents residents in the area, had nothing but praise for the proposed building and the efforts O'Halloran has made to work with council and planning department.

Tweel said the project will revitalize that part of the city and bring more residents downtown.

I know this proposal is somewhat controversial (for area residents), but the housing stock in that part of downtown is pretty questionable, and of no real historical significance. If Charlottetown is to march bravely into the 21st century, it needs to embrace developments such as this. Most other cities would.......

Not sure.......new Dealership maybe?

VW is about 50% complete of their new dealership on the Sherwood Road and then Subaru will be constructing their new building in front of Kent off John Yeo Drive.

That's 3 new stores going into the Target space (H&M, Urban Planet and Giant Tiger). They will all take up about 70-75,000sqft of the roughly 108,000sqft that Target occupied.

I have proof that Costco wants to build a store on PEI.

So a long time ago after the Confederation Bridge was built but before Walmart was built in Charlottetown, Trinity Development Group (Wheeler Park, Bayers Lake etc.) planned on building a power centre in Charlottetown. It was to have Walmart, Costco, Sears, Kents and a whole bunch of other stores. This was the site plan, I found it about 5 years ago on the Trinity Development Group's website, however, the link was external and could not be accessed through the main site.

Some time later when the project actually got off the ground in 2005, APM now owned the land. After that was built, and APM built the Linen'N'Things building in 2007, the recession happened. The whole thing was put on hold. Linen'N'Things actually goes under, and Bed Bath & Beyond took over that location. At some point APM sold that building to Whiterock REIT, then Whiterock merged with Plaza REIT, so that's who owns that building now.

During this time (2009) APM scaled everything back and thats where this site plan comes from:

Then today I came across this site plan:

Here is a link to the PDF file so you can see it better.
http://royallepageapm.ca/wp-content/...For-Sale-2.pdf

This clearly shows a Costco store in basically the same location as was originally planned by the Trinity Group.

It also shows a new proposed 4 storey hotel, something that Tim Banks thinks Charlottetown need more of. It also could be a DP Murphy hotel. I wonder if it could be something like the situation in Moncton where the Holiday Inn stated the building was no longer up to their standards and stripped the name away, and now they're building a new one. Perhaps they told DP Murphy that the Holiday Inn Express was too old and didn't meet their standards anymore, but they'd give him time to build a new one. (I do believe its pretty old..20 years maybe?) Thats just me speculating though.

You can also check out this PDF of the proposed APM development of the former Holland College property in Summerside.
http://royallepageapm.ca/wp-content/...For-Sale-8.pdf

Also just seen this: The new alignment for the Cornwall Bypass

and a link the the bigger picture: http://www.theguardian.pe.ca/media/f...rimeterSept716[1].jpg
Also a link to the article in the Guardian: http://www.theguardian.pe.ca/News/Lo...ute-unveiled/1
