The insulation is now done on the first set of 'houses that has been placed right on the corner of Grand River and the street that runs along the west side of the development (forget it's name). Looks like they may have that portion of the overall development complete by the fall, but I'm not sure if they'll have much more done considering there's only about 45 days or so left until classes start up.
Yeah, I agree with LMich. In the site plans that I have seen, it shows the rowhouses that are now completed as "Phase 1", and the rowhouses along Hillcrest Ave as "Phase 2". The building at the corner of Delta St and Grand River didn't have a phase marked, so from my understanding, it looks like they are waiting to see market demand.
I grew up in this neighborhood in the 60' - 70's, attended Central School across the street from the (then) Bird residence which is the house that was demoed.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the asking prices for these new condos.
Brief update on the West Village. Nothing really of note except that they've begun installing siding on the lone townhouse development that's up so far on the corner of Hillcrest and Grand River. I'll be moving back to EL in about a week, so I'll be able to give more frequent updates at that time.
The council granted developer Abood Properties, Inc. a 24-month period to explore the feasibility of building another project where the Valley Court Community Center currently exists, near Grand River Avenue and Abbott Road.
Tim Dempsey, community and economic development administrator, said the development firm was satisfied with the pace of its sales on the property. The project includes the construction of 15 townhomes and an adjacent building containing permanent units and rental units. Five of the townhomes have already been sold.
Consideration of the West Village Phase II Pre-Development Agreement.
I'm wondering if the current real estate market has changed the scale of the second phase. The second phase was supposed to be more rowhouses along Hillcrest.
