Proposed addition to commercial site at 33 Laird Drive
There will be a City information meeting on Tuesday January 5, 2016 regarding the plans to redevelop the now vacant industrial property at 33 Laird Drive. That’s the corner of Canvarco Road. The development is proposed by Beaux Properties in partnership with Quaestus Corporation, a Netherlands based developer. Geoff Kettel reports that it is owned by Levitt United Ltd, a real estate holding company which purchased the property in 1967 from Sheridan Equipment. The building was used as the head office and distribution centre for Levitt Safety. Surplus space was leased out as the Leaside Business Centre The meeting will take place at 7 p.m. in the William Lea Room at the Leaside Arena. The application proposes a zoning amendment to permit the redevelopment and the addition to the familiar building which was given heritage status in May. It appears the developers intend to create a shopping mall similar or related to the business done at Leaside Village and the Smart Centre There are diagrams and depictions of the plan at the Quaestus site.
