A new 9-storey, rental residential building will be located at the corner of Othello Avenue and Smyth Road where the existing Kelsey’s building is currently located. The construction of this project will be managed by EllisDon who plans to begin demolition of the Kelsey’s building during the week of September 2nd, 2019. The demolition phase is expected to take approximately two weeks and will be immediately followed by excavation for two levels of below-grade parking, installation of the crane structure, and then finally construction of the new building. We’ve been told total construction and buildout to be complete by Fall of 2021.
Elmvale Acres Shopping Centre is an integral part of our community and will remain open to the public for the entirety of the construction period. RioCan has pledged that they will continue to work closely with the tenants for all construction coordination to ensure minimal disruption to both the shopping centre tenants and its visitors.
