Changes proposed for 5-storey apartment building planned for Joseph Street

The developer behind a proposed 5-storey apartment building on Joseph Street is looking to make a minor adjustment to the project.

Town officials say plans for the development of a 91-unit apartment complex and restaurant at 12-14 Joseph Street will be discussed by the Town’s Committee of Adjustment on Jan. 21.

Officials say the developer is looking for a height exemption to allow for the apartment building to be 19.8 metres, instead of the permitted 16.8 metres. An application submitted to the town also asks for permission to construct the project with 38 parking spaces, instead of the by-law required 48 spaces.

The project, which was pitched to council in March 2025, would be located on a 1.6-acre vacant parcel of land at 12 and 14 Joseph Street, north of the high school.

The developer said 15 per cent of the 91 units will be affordable housing, as defined by the the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Commission.

An electronic public meeting to discuss the proposed amendments will be held on Jan. 21 at 6 p.m.
