BURLINGTON, ON

It has taken a long time for Nick Carnicelli to begin his project on John street south of Caroline. But the hoardings are up and some of the demolition has begun.

Seventeen plus storey condominium is part of the three structure Carriage Gate project at John and Caroline.

The project will consist of a high end condo, a parking garage and an office building that was promoted as a medical location.

The financing is in place and the sales team is working out of a smart looking office on Old Lakeshore Road.

Carriage Gate - three buidingsGetting this one to the point where the developer can start building has not been easy. There were issues over hydro lines – were they going to get buried and if they were who as going to pay for that work?

And who was going to pay for hauling the power lines all the way up from Lakeshore Road. The city certainly didn’t make it easy for this developer.

The ward Councillor wanted to see affordable housing units in the project that is made up of a parking lot, a medical office building and a condominium.

Hoardings are going up.

This project is one of several that are going to change the look, feel and tone of downtown Burlington. You won’t recognize the place in five years.

Bridgewater will rise 22 storeys above the lake – and right at the edge of the lake, Paradigm has the first three of the five structure project on Fairview well underway. The ADI Nautique development is mired in an OMB hearing.

The Saxony on Locust is in site clearing mode.

The sleepy quiet Burlington that many people want is going to undergo a significant change.

Are we ready for it?
