News Release: Officials Break Ground for New Housing Development

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.
