Building in Polyclinic parking lot passes 2nd reading at council meeting.
Work on a six-storey apartment building on Grafton Street in Charlottetown is expected to begin by September, the developer says.
City council gave the project the official go-ahead Monday night when it passed second reading......
The building would be located at 199 Grafton St., in what is now a parking lot behind the Polyclinic. It would contain 84 units, of
which 60 would be designated affordable housing, and would include a parking garage on the lower levels.
The project is expected to be complete by January, 2023.

Sounds like this project is likely to not go ahead. Tim Banks, the developer of this project, Tweeted today that the city changes its affordable housing incentive in a way that has negatively affected this project. It doesn’t surprise me that when council finally approves a project, the city administrator finds a back door to squash it. I really hope this council gets tossed next year, and the new council finds a new COA.
