Construction starts on downtown housing development
The $16.8 million project is the first housing development under Windsor’s housing plan to break ground and will add market, accessible and affordable units.
On Monday, the City of Windsor held a groundbreaking ceremony for the $16.8 million Pelissier Park project, the first housing initiative under the Housing Solutions Made for Windsor plan creating 48 new homes.
Site remediation is currently underway to address contamination from a former gas station on the property; Mayor Drew Dilkens confirmed the developer will submit building plans once the record of site condition is finalized.
The development includes 32 two-bedroom townhome suites with single-car garages, eight accessible one-bedroom suites, and eight affordable one-bedroom suites, with first tenants moving in by early 2027.
Chris MacLeod, owner and developer with Realty ONE Group Iconic, stated all buildings are sold to owners who will rent them; the broader plan also targets the former Lowe Secondary School and Roseland Golf Club parking lot.
The city launched an annual survey available until September 7 to gauge community perceptions; Mayor Dilkens emphasized ongoing safety improvements through Project Greenlight and a $500,000 Experience Windsor initiative featuring pizza festivals and Wheels Nights roller skating.
