FSPC-2023 - Prime Consultant Request for Proposal

This project will address the need for vibrant, inclusive and attractive housing that is accessible to lower income seniors, families and individuals in our community. We will achieve this by incorporating purpose-built units (100-120 units) that accommodate the needs of individuals served by various social support programs in the community that focus on housing for their clients. Further the integration of commercial space – with an aim to house non-profit and social enterprises programming, services and retail – will draw community members from across the County to enjoy this space.

The redevelopment anticipates a future neighbourhood of infill development, wherein the existing single and two-storey lodge will begin to be replaced by three to four-storey development that supports multi-unit dwellings for the community in addition to accessible public space available on the main floor for community programming. The new Fir Street development could feature a mix of one- and two- bedroom units that will accommodate a variety of lifestyles. Special consideration will be given to support the housing requirements of our local housing partner that provides housing supports to individuals with disabilities. This may include several units that are three to four-bedrooms to meet their program needs. Each unit will include ample sunlight and individual outdoor living space as well as generous green space for activities and socialization amongst the tenants.
