Glen Andrew Learns About the Fieldgate Project

Glen Andrew Learns About the Fieldgate Project

Really good community meeting
for Glen Andrew Community
residents last night.

Over 50 people came out to hear
Mr. Craig Cal present plans for the redevelopment of the north
east corner of Progress
Avenue and Consilium Place.

Craig is a Scarborough guy. He's working for Urban strategies Inc, planning consultants for the owner, Fieldgate. Really great to have a professional who knows the area come out and show us their plans. This is a massive project with over 2,200 apartments and townhouses which will take years for approvals marketing and construction. Plans include new streets, pedestrian paths and a new public park as well as street front commercial along Consilium Place.
