The first residents of a new apartment on Afton Drive will be unpacking at their new homes this week.
Vensuris Group of Companies Vice President of Growth & External Affairs Lauren Pomerleau tells Sarnia News Today that they're ready for people to move into The Addison.
"We're just coming off a wonderful weekend where we had our grand opening and open house," said Pomerleau. "We were able to celebrate with the community, start to show people the building; the community room, and barbeque, and suites. Now, we're going to have our first set of people starting to move in later this week. So, it's really exciting to be at this milestone."
Pomerleau said some individuals have been eagerly waiting for their suite to be ready.
"These early move-ins, most of them have been with us almost since the start, on our waitlist and following along," she said. "They were some of the people that came in when we started our pre-leasing process in March to secure their suite. So, it's been great to be able to get them to this point and now I can't wait to welcome them to their new home."
Pomerleau said units are still available.
"Those are available on a first come, first served basis. We'll be starting those move-ins in October and November," she said.
Pomerleau said now that this project is pretty much wrapped up, they're investigating future projects.
"We would love to build more and bring more needed housing to the market. We have our eye on the market. We've been assessing different land opportunities and hope to tie down some land and announce another building shortly," said Pomerleau.
She said The Addison was initially delayed at the beginning, but was on time as soon as they "got in the ground."
"When we started the pre-leasing process in March, we told people they would be moving in on September 1. So, to have some people moving in August 31 feels really great to be able to hit that accomplishment," Pomerleau said.
