Is this the final site plan?

I am not 100% sure, but I think that the specific development in that site plan, "Eden", is already complete. Applewood, who is the developer of Eden, is also developing "The Marketplace" (located right beside the Eden development), which is under construction right now.

For some reason, Applewood has not updated their website yet.

Correct. Those townhomes are now built and are immediately to the west of the Marketplace. Markertplace is made up of two 5 story apartment buildings with ground floor commercial/retail. To the east and north the site prep is well underway for a new sub-division that will complete the NW corner of Adelaide and Sunningdale.

Awesome! Thank you for the update. I live near this development, so I am looking forward to seeing it complete, especially the retail portion.

With the development of the York commercial centre already happening at the southeast corner of the Adelaide/Sunningdale intersection, and apparently Auburn Developments is looking to build a subdivision at the northeast corner, the intersection will start to look very different in just a few short years

Masonry contractor building the 3rd floor elevator stairwell shaft now.

Good news that work will resume. That aside, I find the building rather ugly. It bothers me how the windows don't line up properly. The Ivey building at UWO has the same problem. I don't get it.

Update on story for the contractors involved.

Looks like construction has resumed as when I drove by this site the other day, they were working on finishing the exterior paneling on the east side of the N/S-oriented building.

I didn't think that we would see any work start so soon after the paperwork has been finalized, earlier this month I believe.

The site has had no work on completing these two buildings which sit boarded up. Not sure why the new owner isn't bringing in contractors to finish these two apartment buildings and get tenants moving in. You'd think they would be in a hurry to start generating revenues.

jawadh · #18 Posted **Aug 15, 2023, 12:46 PM**

Drove by this site yesterday. It looks exactly the same since last year. The new developers have done nothing. Curious whats going on. I feel like its prime consruction time to get this project complete.

jammer139 · #19 Posted **Aug 15, 2023, 3:24 PM**

I agree very strange this has had zero movement. Must still be wrangling with the bankruptcy and the creditors before being able to move forward with contractors to finish the exterior and interior and get tenants.

Sadly I suspect the longer it sits the more issues they will have to remediate with water and mold.

jammer139 · #20 Posted **Sep 2, 2023, 7:12 PM**

Interesting to see some work starting on this site. A scaffold has now been setup on the west side of the building fronting Fanshawe Rd and they appear to be installing the exterior finish. This is good news and hopefully a sign that other contractors will be returning to the site to finish these two buildings inside and out.
