The Proposal

What are you proposing for the redevelopment of the site?

Our current proposal includes a 9-storey mid-rise purpose-built rental building with retail at grade. The building includes 156 units, with a mix of one, two, and three-bedrooms. Parking for the building would be located underground with 25 spaces dedicated to the retail use as well as a 121 residential and 24 visitor spaces. Bicycle parking provided includes 145 long-term spaces and 25 short-term spaces.

Is Valumart coming back?

Medallion is interested in having a grocery store return as the anchor tenant. The drawings are currently designed to accommodate a medium-sized grocer, and Medallion would consider it a great addition to the proposed building.

What is the difference between a rental and condominium building?

Rental buildings that are built today have evolved from their dated reputation. They now offer many of the same amenities and services as condominiums. This new development will bring a new type of rental living with high-quality and long-lasting finishes as well as modern and new amenities, for future tenants’ use and enjoyment. The defining difference is not in the built form, but the tenure. A rental building is owned by one company whereas a condominium is owned by individual unit owners. Medallion will own and manage this property.
