199 Grafton St - Port House Development
Staff is recommending that the Design Review Board approve the building facade......
Design Review Conclusion
As this is early in the development stage we know that in addition to the required variances there are also lots
of National Building Code hurdles to overcome but this is an solid proposal and could be a wonderful place to live.
The Port House Apartment project brings:
Influx of new downtown residents
Much needed “affordable” housing
Excellent Downtown renewal
Removal of another surface “Parking Lot”
A palette of high end materials
A nice contemporary look
This project if it can live up to the perspective as illustrated could be a welcome addition to Downtown
Charlottetown. We give this a “thumbs up” and hope that the Developer can supply all the required
documentation and bring this to a successful conclusion.
More to follow I'm sure....
Next will be the Downtown NIMBY snobs who don't want any
new development in the 500 lot area, especially 84 affordable units.
