CanadianTalk · #1 Posted **May 16, 2024, 4:07 PM**

A 6-storey apartment building with 73 affordable housing units is proposed on part of the parking lot at St. Andrew the Apostle Parish located at Huron St and Fallons Ln (just east of Sandford).

Planning application page: https://london.ca/business-development/p...ons/planning-applications/1-fallons-lane

Planning application notice: https://london.ca/sites/default/files/2024-05/Z-9728%20-%20Notice%20of%20App%20and%20PPM.pdf

This has been in the works for over a year. Here are some articles from last year:

City planning staff is recommending that Council approve the zoning changes that would allow for this proposed building.

This goes to the planning committee on July 16th and then to full council on July 23rd.

Council unanimously approved the zoning changes for this.

The Mayor posted on his social media pages that they have officially broke ground on this site for this future affordable housing development and they expect it to be ready for tenants by the end of next year.

However, I can't find any site-plan applications or building permits that have been filed for this site.... so I would think they would both be filed soon.

Thanks for the link.

This article mentions the address 1500 Huron Street, which when you search it up in the City's registry shows both a Site Plan file and a Building Permit. As well, the Site Plan file states that it was formerly 1 Fallons Lane, so the Church must have split off these lands from the rest of the Churchs property.

Hopefully we start seeing steady progress soon for this project!

Thanks so much for looking into it! It is common for a site to have several different addresses and the city's official interactive map usually does a good job at showing all possible addresses... but this must have been a fairly recent severance (as you stated) and doesn't show up yet on the official map.

Great to hear that both have been filed.

Construction fencing now up with signage for D Grant Construction. So they will be the general contractor on this build.

Heavy equipment now working the site to strip off the parking lot pavement. Not sure if this will have underground parking and a lower level or they will build at grade.

Forming has now started for the foundation footings for this 6s apartment building. There will be no L1 level on this building.

Wrapping up the 4th floor concrete block wall installs and should see the 5th floor precast concrete floor slabs being installed this week and some of the structural steel posts for the 5th and 6th floor.

jammer139 · #18 Posted **Nov 8, 2025, 9:00 PM**

The 5th floor precast concrete slabs are now installed and have already started building the 5th floor concrete block walls.

jammer139 · #19 Posted **Nov 26, 2025, 4:56 PM**

Getting close to finishing up the 5th floor concrete block walls in this 6s low rise apartment building. Could see them start installing the 6th floor precast concrete floor slabs next week.

jammer139 · #20 Posted **Dec 7, 2025, 8:11 PM**

Have now installed the 6th floor precast concrete floor slabs and are prepping to start building the 6th floor concrete block walls. With good weather they may have most of the 6th floor block walls built by the holiday break.
