BURLINGTON, ON
The downtown block that Elizabeth Interior’s currently occupies, is to have been bought and will be developed as high-rise condo’s,
The whole block is reported to have been sold – opposite city hall. View is from James Street.
The owners of Elizabeth Interiors are reported to have recently purchased the Ethan Allen building on Fairview and will be moving the business there.
Her current Fairview location, “Liz@Home”, will likely continue to operate.
Our source said: “If he were a “betting man” the Molinaro Group would be his wager on the developer.
View of the Elizabeth Interiors from Brant Street -was everything bought ?
Condo’s are spring up all over the place – what size and what price and what will they have in the way of amenities are the critical issues.
During the Strategic Plan discussions members of Council have agonized over the lack of those critical 25 – 34 year olds that are energetic and want to make Burlington their homes where they can live and work and begin to form families.
The water front and the Escarpment will only take us so far – what prospective employers want is a work force that is educated and local that can be employed.
Downtown looks as if it will become a concentration of condominiums – where are those high tech jobs going to be?
No one seems to be prepared to work at bringing commercial properties to market.
Interesting times for a city that is still trying to figure out what it wants to be – hopefully Council will do the job before the developers and the market make the decisions for us.
