Desperately needed new housing is on its way for
Kindersley as the official ground-breaking ceremony for Brookhollow Estates was
held today at 1:30 pm.
Members of the public joined officials of the Town and
developer Marathon Properties on site for the start of the 115 acre project
that will create much needed new housing, infrastructure, and both residential
and commercial lots in Kindersley. The development will be built east of the
current Rosedale subdivision, extending north of the Motherwell Reservoir.
A presentation by
Marathon Properties was held for the public following the ceremony at the
Kindersley Town Office.
Phase One of the development will include the
following residential lots:
·
58 lots for single, detached housing
·
16 lots for townhouses
·
3 lots for multiple-unit dwellings (i.e.
duplex, tri-plex)
·
3 lots for high-density residential
(apartments)
·
1 lot for seniors housing
“This exciting
project is an important step in addressing the significant housing shortage in
Kindersley. It is key to our growth and our future. I am thrilled that Marathon
Properties has recognized the opportunities that exist in Kindersley, and has
chosen to invest here,” says Mayor John Enns-Wind.
“Over the course of the next ten
years, with staged development, Brookhollow Estates could become the home
for more than 3,500 new friends and neighbours in Kindersley.”
Phase One of the
Brookhollow Estates project is anticipated to provide a two-year inventory of
homes in Kindersley. The developer is responsible to provide all infrastructure
and deep services, including sidewalks, streetlights, curbs and gutters,
resulting in zero cost to the taxpayer.
Once developed,
lots will be sold to builders and/or the customer directly.
