Admiral Collingwood Place Jumps Second Hurdle

Development’s fate in County’s hands

By John Edwards (staff, Collingwood Connection, March 29, 2012)

The fate of Admiral Collingwood Place is in the hands of the County of Simcoe.

The deadline to appeal the Official Plan and Zoning bylaw amendments for the project passed last Thursday.

This means the project needs approval from the county to proceed.

The county’s planning committee will vote on the project on April 11 followed County Council on April 24. If approved, there will be another 20-day appeal period for the project.

Admiral Collingwood Place has jumped the first hurdle on the road to getting final approval to start construction.

The public had 30 days to appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board council’s amendment to the heritage district bylaw as it pertains to the property.

The deadline was Thursday at 4:30pm and it came and went without an appeal.

350 Turn Out To Pro-Admiral Rally

COLLINGWOOD — Build it, and build it now.

That was the message delivered to an audience of approximately 350 people who crowded into the Royal Canadian Legion, Sunday afternoon, in a show of support for the Admiral Collingwood Place development.

The event was organized by Dunc Hawkins, Brian Hickey and Don Paul; all three have emphasized they have no ties to the project’s developer Steve Assaff, nor have a “vested interest” in seeing the property develop.

Sunday’s rally featured six speakers, including downtown business owners, and residents both recently-moved to the community, and long-time residents.

ADMIRAL COLLINGWOOD PLACE CONDOMINIUM REVIVED

Wednesday, July 20, 2011, Collingwood, ON: Stephen Assaff of Charis Developments,
along with Collingwood Mayor Sandra Cooper and Members of Council, gathered today
for the Official Kick Off of Admiral Collingwood Place, a new 6 storey residential
condominium in downtown Collingwood, at the intersection of Hurontario St. and Hume
St.

In advance of the event, Charis Developments President, Stephen C. Assaff had these
remarks: “The Town of Collingwood has long awaited this development, which will create
an iconic landmark in our lively downtown core. I’m honoured to contribute to this town
that has given me so much over the years and grateful for the support of the Mayor and
Council.”

A previous plan had been in the works 5 years ago, so there is much excitement to see
the project renewed, as an entire block is revitalized.

“We are excited to see new development at the corner of Hume and Hurontario Streets.
This will be a state of the art building generating employment, growth and tax revenue for the Town of Collingwood. There is much confidence in working together
cooperatively with Mr. Assaff and his new development and we are delighted that it is
proceeding forward”, said Mayor Sandra Cooper, of the Town of Collingwood.

With an eye to the Town’s unique heritage, the building design will be in keeping with the
picturesque main street, and incorporate red brick, stone and stucco, paired with
historical detailing. Adding to the overall aesthetic appeal, each suite will feature a
balcony or deep terrace perfect for entertaining and soaking in the beautiful views of
downtown, Georgian Bay and Blue Mountain.

With the support of the Mayor and local council, the project is slated for completion in
2013 and will include 28,000 SF of ground level commercial space with parking at the
rear, and approximately 127 residential suites in five stories above; an ideal mix for
downtown.

Admiral Collingwood Place features an array of beautiful suite designs ranging from 1
bedroom + den layouts to luxury 3 bedroom penthouses with over 2600 square feet of
living space. Suites are elegantly appointed with an exquisite variety of finishing options
including gourmet kitchens, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.

In addition to an elegant lobby, lavish building amenities include a landscaped rooftop
affording owners 360-degree views, the use of outdoor cabanas, BBQ’s, a tranquil water
feature, and indoor fitness room. The indoor rooftop lounge doubles as a party room
with warming kitchen for social gatherings and family functions.

Collingwood is a high-demand destination, particularly for baby-boomers, as they seek
an active lifestyle. It offers an abundance of amenities, elegant fine dining, shopping,
theatre, golfing, and culture and entertainment. With its ideal mix of small town charm
and sleek sophistication, it’s no wonder it’s a destination to dream of.

Prices at Admiral Collingwood Place start in the mid $200,000’s with some suites up to
over $800,000 including an underground parking space and locker. Phase 1 is
scheduled for release early this fall.

The Presentation Centre, located across the street on Hurontario in the Royal Bank
Plaza, is expected to open early this fall. For advance information on Admiral
