Jackson and Commissioners - two 6s, one 5s, townhouses (Under Construction)

[CanadianTalk]

If you have been out in the Commissioners and Jackson area lately, you'll notice that construction is starting on a new subdivision east of Summerside / Jackson Road. The roads have been paved for the first phase, and some model homes have been constructed recently

Drewlo is calling this "Jackson Meadows" , and it is it is bounded by Jackson, Commissioners and Bradley. It will contain a mixture of houses, townhouses, and apartment buildings. https://www.drewloholdings.com/new-home-subdivisions/jackson-meadows

An older land use concept plan can be found on page 9 of this link: https://pub-london.escribemeetings.com/filestream.ashx?DocumentId=34286

-----

Drewlo recently submitted a zoning application for the medium density block at the northwest corner of the subdivision (right at Commissioners and Jackson) and it is for two 6-storey apartment buildings, one 5-storey apartment building, and 72 townhouse units.

Looks like Drewlo is saving alot of money by re-using the same architect plans they have from their EdgeValley and Chelton sites for this phase.

[CanadianTalk]

City planning staff is recommending that Council approve the zoning changes that would allow for the proposed apartment buildings and townhouses at the NW corner of the subdivision.

This goes to Council's Planning and Environment committee on March 19th, then to Council on April 2nd.

Update: Council approved the zoning changes for this.

This is land immediately east of the large block of land being developed by Drewlo/Ironstone east of Jackson Rd and between Commissioners and Bradley. The road connections will be via Drewlo's new subdivision with extensions of that road network.



A residential subdivision consisting of single
detached dwellings, cluster townhouses,
street townhouses, parkland, and open
space.

Saw some ads on social media today from Ironstone/Drewlo promoting the new Jackson Meadows subdivision, along with some construction photos. The ads were mainly promoting their first townhouse development, called Kai.

Drewlo has always done this. My company used to work for them for a while, back when Mr. Drewlo himself was alive and still roaming his buildings at 3 in the morning. A large majority of them, if you haven't noticed, all have the same shape and size and follow the same floor plans. Even their exteriors are the same, you can tell in places like Wonderland and Oxford where they have that massive apartment complex. Those homestead buildings were theirs at one point too, and they sold them, but you can just tell by the designs they were Drewlo originals.

Now with Mr. Drewlo's son taking over, you see a ton more of them building actual subdivisions and such. The son owned Ironstone and then took over Drewlo as well once his Dad passed.

Looks like they have started excavation for the NE corner low rise building "A" as well as they are starting the underground utility service installation.

Site plan:




Rendering of one of the buildings. It is pretty much identical to the buildings currently under construction further south on Bradley in Summerside:

[MolsonExport]

Drewlo buildings all look the same.

[jammer139]

Foundation footings and L1 walls have already started with some now poured on the 6s building A in the plan.

[jammer139]

They have started forming and pouring the foundation footings for building B at the corner of this lot. The L1 walls are now poured on the first building A and prep is underway for the L1 floor slab.

[jammer139]

Looks like they have now poured the ground floor slab for building A. Building B nearly has all the L1 walls now formed and poured. Building C has the excavation completed for the L1 level and prep underway for the foundation footings. Framing is now going up for some of the townhouse units and alot of the foundations have been formed and poured for others.

[jammer139]

Forming for the elevator stairwell shaft core of the ground floor has started and they have already got some of the pre-fab steel modular wall units installed for the ground floor on building A.

[jammer139]

Have now poured the 2nd floor slab and have most of the 2nd floor modular steel stud wall panels installed in building A. Working on the L1 floor slab now on building B.

[CanadianTalk]

Here is a recent aerial shot from Drewlo:

[jammer139]

Forming now for the 3rd floor slab in building A and forming for the ground floor slab in building B. Likely to see concrete pump trucks here very soon. The townhouses to the south are also being framed up quickly.

[jammer139]

Looks like they are prepping for the foundation footings on building C.

[jammer139]

Working still on the foundation footings for building C. They poured the ground floor slab for building B today. They have now got the 3rd floor steel modular walls up for building A. Framing of the townhouses to the south continues with progress on the exterior of those units that have seen the framing completed.

[jammer139]

Forming for the 4th floor slab on building A nearly complete. Building B now has the ground floor steel modular walls installed.
