The building seen now is the first of three, expected to be done next summer
If you're driving through Fonthill on Highway 20, you'll notice a building going up right beside the Sobey's.
Pelham's Chief Building Official Andrew McMurtrie tells us it's a 5-storey retirement complex, constructed by Mountainview Building Group, with MFS Fonthill GP Inc.
There's an impressive list of facilities for the ground floor. "Hair dresser, a theatre room, a wine tasting room, there's a fitness area, also golf simulator, yoga studio and bar and games room. It'll also be equipped with an indoor pool."
He adds another two buildings are going behind it, totaling 176 units.
They're hoping the $45-million work is ready next summer. "We've seen a very large uptake on residents that want to move in here that are local to the Fonthill and Fenwick area. They've done some working groups with some people from town here, to see what they'd like as far as amenity space and unit size."
