Public meeting scheduled for Mon Sept 14 2020.

According to documents posted on the City of Guelph’s website, Tricar Properties has revised its pitch for buildings spanning several properties at Gordon Street and Valley Road, now proposing two 10-storey buildings. The one fronting Gordon would contain 151 units, while the second on the east end of the properties holding 174, making a total of 325.

This is a reduction from what was seen in Tricar’s proposal, first unveiled last year, which saw the buildings standing 12 storeys tall with a combined 377 units.

At 10 storeys, the buildings are now at the height laid out in the city’s official plan.

While the size of the buildings has decreased, the amount of land the developer is looking to build on has grown, with 1270 Gordon, once the home of Monte’s Place, being purchased by Tricar and now included in the overall pitch.

According to the revised submission, the additional property would be used as a common amenity area for the buildings’ occupants should the project get the go ahead from city council.

The addition of another property also brings down the density of the overall project, now down to 182 units per hectare from the original 271.

The number of parking spots on site was also lowered, dropping to 519 from the original 587. Of those, 83 would be for visitors.

Condo in Guelph's Ward neighbourhood gets council go ahead



City council has given the green light to a new multi-residential building in the Ward.

In a 10-3 vote at its Dec. 13 planning meeting, council approved IT Enterprises’ development application for a four-storey, 22-unit condominium building at 66 Duke St.

One of those voting against it, Coun. Dominique O’Rourke, raised concerns around the lack of a dedicated accessible parking spot for any visitors to the building, noting she did not “think that’s acceptable.”

The project’s developer, IT Enterprises, is proposing 22 parking spots for the building, along with two for visitors. The parking stalls, however, would be unbundled from the condo units, meaning future residents would need to purchase it separately.

A new apartment building is being proposed for the south end of Guelph.

According to documents posted on the City of Guelph’s website Feb. 2, an application has been made to rezone 1373 and 1389 Gordon St., with plans to build a nine-storey, 98-unit building there.

Documents posted as part of the proposal list both Reid’s Heritage Homes and Reid's Heritage Properties as behind the project. According to property records, the two properties were purchased this past summer for a combined $4.05 million.

Along with the residential proposal for the lot at Gordon’s intersection with Vaughan Street, developers are also proposing to have commercial space on the ground floor and office space on the top floor. Preliminary floor plans indicate the second through eighth floors would each have eight one-bedroom units and six two-bedroom units.

Made public in early 2020, Willow Court Ltd. initially proposed building two six-storey, 65-unit buildings at the northwest corner of Willow and Dawson roads, with much of the existing plaza there to be demolished to make room for the new buildings.

However, by June 2021, that was brought down to total 115 units.
