Attention: Mr. Franklin Wu
RE : 63 Temperance Street, Bowmanville, ON
Thank you for meeting with me on such short notice to discuss the future of the above
noted site.
As you are now aware, Durham Region Non -Profit Housing Corporation is no longer
involved with the site due to cutbacks from the Ministry of Housing and our intention is to
now forge ahead with a condominium development on the lands.
We have proceeded in good faith throughout the planning stages of this projcet and we
plan on continuing along the same path. The issue that we would like to address in the
immediate future is that of the senior's community centre. We need to know if the
Municipality is still interested in locating the senior's centre on the site in a senior's
condominium with similar physical attributes as the previous design.
It is our intention to accommodate the senior's centre into our new development with all
of the required amenities, but given the fact that we have owned the site for almost one
full year and sat on a zoned site for the past 6 months we cannot wait indefinitely before
we design, sell and build out the project. Therefore, we respectfully request that
Council continues with its commitment to locating the senior's centre in our
building.
We shall be commencing a redesign of the building within the zoned envelope forthwith
upon us carefully examining the housing market in the immediate and outer lying area.
Hopefully the Municipality will conclude that a our senior's condominium can meet and
exceed the senior's communities' required criteria.
_2_
Notwithstanding the net benefit of having the senior's centre in a condominium, our
research concludes that we have several options for the site and they include the
following:
1. Should the community centre stay on this site we feel very strongly that there is a
significant senior's market for this type of mixed use project in this location and we would
gear all of our marketing to this sector of the population;
2. Without the community centre we feel that the attractiveness of this location
would diminish for senior's, but we would still review the senior's tenure for the building,
and
3. The obvious and most likely marketing approach for the site, should the
community centre not locate there, would be for us to increase the size of the units in the
building and adjust our finishes and amenities in the project to attract the enormous
untapped market that feel they would never be able to own property because of cost. Our
marketing campaign would be geared towards the rental community in Durham Region
and we would offer many flexible financing terms that would assist this sector of the
population in raising deposit monies and reducing carrying costs.
Timing of this project is critical for us and given that design will dictate the market that we
attract, we must establish our design criteria and forge ahead. Our architect's are
currenity sketching different options and we plan on committing significant resources to
our marketing campaign later this fall. This means that we must formulate our direction
for the project sometime in mid September.
We respectfully request that you forward this request to Council and register us as �I
delegates at the next Committee meeting.
We look forward to completing a very successful project jointly with the Municipality and
should the Municipality be unable to join us, we are committed to developing a first class
project for whatever sector of the population we end up building for.
Sincerely,
1100719 ONTARIO INC.
