KINGSTON - While cutting edge design and building strategies are often perceived as practices that emerge and proliferate in the GTA — the central hub of development in Ontario — before spreading to the municipalities beyond, a unique proposal has just surfaced in Kingston, that hopes to become the first of its kind in the city.
The project, known for its address on Kingston's main street at 600 Princess, proposes the construction of a 6-storey, mixed-use development containing 176 new dwelling units, as well as retail at grade. Importantly, the building would become the first net-zero emissions residential development in Kingston, embracing sustainable design practices to deliver a building that would represent a viable model for future green development.
