For our neighbours

Community & development.

Kemptville Commons is a new rental community on James Street. Here are answers to the questions we hear most about the project, its design, and its impact on the neighbourhood.

Why are you re-zoning the property from R1 to R3?: We are re-zoning the site to allow for a greater mix of housing types and to make more efficient use of underutilized land. This supports North Grenville's Official Plan goals to provide more diverse housing and accommodate long-term population growth.
Why this location? Why not build somewhere else?: The site sits on an underutilized commercial property with direct highway access, close to shops, schools, and services. It is well suited for higher-density residential under the Official Plan.
What will the buildings look like? Will they fit into the neighbourhood?: Three-storey stacked townhomes with higher-end finishes, designed at a low-rise residential scale that fits the character of the surrounding area.
What kind of residents will live here?: The homes are designed for working professionals and young families looking for quality rental housing in Kemptville.
Is any of this housing going to be affordable?: Kemptville Commons is a market-rate rental community. By adding 52 new homes to a tight market, it helps ease overall housing pressure in the area.
