The city is one step closer to committing almost $4 million in future taxes to entice residents for The Exchange/Waterfront area after recent condo sales fell below expectations.
A report approved by the city’s downtown development committee Monday calls for $3.89 million in funding and a loan guarantee of up to $7.785 million for Centre Venture Development Corp. to administer the initiative.
If approved by council and the province, the project is expected to net $17 million in tax revenue for the governments, after their investments are removed.
The project would also seek to entice retailers and a grocery store, potentially with additional financial incentives.

Tax incentives? Expectations for all the new condo developments seem to be falling below expectations.

Ross McGowan, CEO of Centre Venture, assured councillors it wouldn’t be. He said 123 completed or under-construction condo units in the area currently remain unsold and some expected projects risk not proceeding.

Is it just me or does 123 units seems high?
