Comment: This development was originally approved in 2015 as a high-end apartment and townhouse condominium project with prices from the mid-$400’s to the mid-$700’s. In response to slow pre-sales, the planned condo was cancelled and a revised planning application was filed for a smaller sub-division combining single-family homes and duplexes. Because the water allocation for the project was approved in 2015, this project is exempt from the Wellington Interim Control By-Law (aka development freeze.)
