Centrum Blvd. residential project approved
In Orleans, a community improvement plan grant application submitted by a numbered company related to a residential development at 211 Centrum Blvd. was approved.
A community improvement plan is an economic development tool allowing municipalities to provide financial incentives directly to property owners to stimulate new development, redevelopment and property improvements, a city report says.
Last week, the city’s finance and corporate services committee approved a CIP grant application submitted by 12259095 Canada Inc., which has been linked to Montreal-based developer Groupe Maurice. A city report said the “estimated total aggregate of annual grants over a maximum period of 10 years is $3,355,533, in compliance with the terms and conditions of a community improvement plan agreement.”
The property at 211 Centrum, formerly occupied by a Royal Bank of Canada branch and a structured parking facility, will be redeveloped into a three-tower seniors residence, with portions rising four, nine and seventeen storeys. It is located at the intersection of Centrum Avenue and Place d’Orléans Drive, within walking distance of Place d’Orléans Shopping Centre.
The residence would consist of 397 rental units designed for senior independent living, supported by comprehensive service, wellness, amenities and health components, a report to committee says.
The development will include about 40,000 square feet of indoor amenity space and 288 indoor parking spaces.
A city report says construction is set to take place over 36 months, with the project expected to employ more than 150 construction workers and 75 to 100 permanent jobs within the residence once it opens.
