BURLINGTON, ON
Kelly’s Bake Shop; opened in 2012 and became a reason to visit Burlongton.
Owners Kelly and Erinn closed their downtown Burlington location after 13 years. It wasn’t a decision they made – the property owner made it for them – giving them sixty days to vacate the premises.
Planning a day – when the days were good. Kelly and Erinn
Rendering of the proposed development. Interesting to note that the Bake Shop is included in the rendering which suggest that the developer was open to the idea of the Bake Shop being part of the development.
No word from the developers as to when the demolition of the site will begin. Most recent information was that a development application has yet to be approved. Property taxes will be lower once the site has been levelled.
The site is bound by Brant, John and James with the southern end the parkette.
Proposed Development
To modify the Zoning for the previously approved development as follows:
- Reduce the parking rate to 0.74 parking spaces per residential unit (overall number of parking spaces),
- Reduce the parking stall dimensions,
- Reduce the second-floor height from 3.8 metres to 3.7 metres,
- Reduce setbacks to the parking structure and
- Increase the overall building height from 65m to 66 m to make room for a mechanical penthouse.”

Not sure what the NHL is going to do for pucks gong forward.
They were told in July of 2018 that the property was being developed and that they would need to find a new location. The Gazette reported on this at the time: https://burlingtongazette.ca/kelly-childs-throw-in-the-towel-her-bake-shop-will-have-to-find-a-new-home/
Such a shame when condos become more important than a small business that attracted tourism to Burlington.
