BURLINGTON, ON
If you don’t get downtown that often, you may not be aware of the change taking place directly across the street from City Hall.
The block that was home to Kelly’s Bakery and Elizabeth Interiors is being demolished. It will become a 17-storey tower that is reported to have 25% of the units marketed as Affordable Units.

The developer intends to have shovels in the ground by the end of the year.
The demolition is underway, and it won’t be long before everything has been flattened.
Upper floors of City Hall can be seen from the demolition of the block on the east side.

Where do I find out about renting?
Is it all being flattened?
To date it looks like maybe some buildings are being preserved. Like the one that Kelly’s was in. They have been very careful to demolish a building between Kelly’s and the old Elizabeth’s leaving either side untouched.
Editor’s note: Everything is coming down. Kelly’s has already found a new home further up Brant Street.
I wonder if they are all actually coming down. The demolition so far seems to very be very precise. Why demolish The building between Kelly’s and Elizabeth so carefully. I’m wondering whether some form of heritage preservation of the storefronts it’s going to be Incorporated into the new building.
