PETERBOROUGH | Construction news and development
 

I figured Peterborough isn't North enough to be bunched in with that thread, yet there's enough development happening there now to justify something.

I'll start catching up on a few proposals.

First, a proposed 12 storey development on Crescent St from Ashburnham Realty.

New 100+ unit condo development to transform Peterborough waterfront

Bennett and his company, Ashburnham Realty, are sharing the details of a proposed 100-plus-unit building on Crescent Street, just south of Del Crary Park and the Art Gallery of Peterborough.

“It’s an apartment/condo building that will be something Peterborough’s never had before,” says Bennett.

The proposed 12-storey development is planned to have private residents and luxury rental suites in the style of townhomes, lofts, penthouses and more.

The townhouses are already complete:

Ashburnham Realty shares development plans with East City residents
Planned four-building development will bring 90-plus units and commercial tenants to mostly vacant land south of Hunter Street near Rotary Greenway Trail

Bennett’s plan for the properties marks another in a series of major East City residential developments. East of Ashburnham Drive in the shadow of the Peterborough Lift Lock, the Ashborough Village subdivision will see 700 units built — houses, townhouses and apartments — while East City Condos, a nine-storey building developed by Toronto-based TMV Group, is set to rise at the southwest corner of Hunter Street East and Armour Road.

Bennett’s development features a six-storey building fronting Hunter Street East east of the trail with a restaurant on the ground floor, commercial tenants on the second floor, and apartments on the upper floors. It is the largest of the four buildings planned.

Bennett is also developing property west of the trail, also fronting Hunter Street East, and a strip of land also on the trail’s east side that extends close to Robinson Street. In total, 90-plus units will be developed.

The affected addresses are 109, 115, 125 and 127 Hunter Street East, 367 Rogers Street, and 124 Robinson Street.

A recent update shows work on the foundations for phase 1:

I have to admit I'm loving how it seems like every small city in the province has at least a handful of urban condo and apartment projects happening in their downtowns. That was very much not the case even 5 years ago.

East City Condos is structurally complete

The excavator in the photo above demo'd an old building to make way for phase two.

Big proposal for 211 Hunter Street from Skydevco, which has evolved a bit since it was first proposed years ago.

The applicant proposes construction of three apartment buildings ranging in height from 8 to 12 storeys. The total new building area is proposed to be 29,050 square metres. The applicant is proposing a mix of one and two-bedroom units for a total of 317 residential units.
