Construction of Sarnia apartment complex 'progressing quite nicely'

A London Road apartment complex in Sarnia expects to begin pre-leasing rental units in late fall.

Vensuris Group of Companies has been working to develop a six storey building called "The Addison" at the southeast corner of the London Road Shopping Centre.

Plans for the complex were announced in 2016 and will include 70 one and two-bedroom units.

Vice President of Growth & External Affairs Lauren McDonald said the company broke ground in March and second-floor walls went up last week.

"Construction has been progressing quite nicely," said McDonald.

The pre-leasing process is expected to begin in the fall and early move-ins are anticipated in the spring of 2023.

McDonald said there has been a lot of interest in the building. They have started forming a "waitlist" of interested people and so far that list includes 74 names.

A floor plan is expected to be released in the coming weeks. Following that, further details about the rentals will be released.

"We've been working on developing our layouts so everyone can get a sense of what the building is going to look and feel like down to all of the amenities that we'll have," she said.

"We're still confirming our exact market rents right now based on fluctuating rates and where we're at with economics so we're going to be determining that closer in the fall."

McDonald also said they're planning to have their model suite completed by the end of this year for people to view.

Those interested in being added to the apartment's waitlist can email contact@vensuriscommunities.com or call (519) 419-1390.
