I completely agree that this is not the location for affordable housing. This is one of the nicest properties in the city and it would give some of the best views in the city. It should be priced as so.

I agree, so that is why what they are proposing for the site makes sense.

It sounds like this will be that. The problem will be whether the market and the price will meet. Condos are not that popular in Sudbury, so they will need to be priced right and finished right to fill it.

Gave some much needed love to the Sudbury Wiki.

Fun fact this is the only Northern Ontario City with a tallest buildings Wikipedia page.

Meanwhile, in Thunder Bay, projects keep chugging along...


Junot Ave Transitional Housing Project - 58 Units

Huron Ave Housing Project Phase 1 - 24 Units

River Terrace "Luxury Apartments" - 120 Units

Two of the more high-profile projects appear to be delayed:

Suomi Koti (60 Units) and Giwaa on Court (46 Units)

There are some other projects around town like the development of Dawson Court on Algoma along with their Tiny Homes proposal, the infill projects on Junot across from the EMS HQ, and the recent opening of new parcels in Parkdale along with the subdivision between Highway 61 and Mountain Road for development. I didn't include the Hoito project because, well, that's a mess and who knows what will end up happening there.

Still - 2200 new housing starts by 2031? Things are going to have to move a lot faster and some long talked about projects are going to have to be dusted off and put into overdrive. That is ALOT of housing - I was speculating with a friend as to where it might end up happening.

Maybe the Condos at the Golf Course? The proposed subdivision off 20th Side Road south of Nova Drive? Further expansion of Hutton Park? The condo high rise on Adelaide? Condo project on Cumberland? The condos by McVicar's Creek? Is there enough subdivision land and apartment proposals in the city right now to make is happen in 8 years?

There is also the two 5-story condos in Woodcrest which are 24 units each. I believe the second building will be finished shortly.

New 108 Unit Apartment building being built in Sault Ste. Marie at 110 Pim Street. First render I've seen of this building.




Sits on the former site of Tara Hall apartments.

Tara Hall was the oldest apartment building in Sault Ste. Marie when fire struck on Nov. 2, 1987. It was boarded up and left vacant, eventually leaving behind only the foundation.

Looks like site prep for the two 17 story buildings in Sudbury has started. This will have a huge impact on the skyline.

It's a shame there aren't more updates out of Thunder Bay and NWO as a whole. I would love to keep abreast of what is happening with our next door neighbour.

Wanna tell us what’s happening in Kenora and Dryden?
I was just thinking that it was nice to see a Manitoban commenting in here.

It’ll probably never happen in my lifetime, but it’ll be interesting if Kenora grows all the way to Highway 17A (the bypass).

Sudbury voted to build a new downtown arena and event centre.
