We have been talking to the City of Kingston for a while, and they had provided details on a 2+ acre parcel that we have proposed building 24-homes, a community center, storage lockers, gardens, gazebo, firepits, centralized parking, and lots of green space for the community to enjoy. We have planned a commercial kitchen with dining area where citizens can share a meal, a lounge to gather with neighbours, co-working space, small business space, and a coffee shop in the community center.
While discussions had stalled, recent funding options will hopefully breathe new life into this development. With the need for more affordable housing choices in the city, we bring a unique format that will expand rental and affordable-to-own options for many. We also plan to offer a rent-to-own program for those that would like to take the next step towards home ownership.

Hello, I’m subscribed to the newsletter, are the plots going to be up for sale/ownership, or are they going to be for rent ?
Hi Claudia, thanks for subscribing.
The community is cooperatively owned, so when you purchase a unit, you own a share in the cooperative, and when you leave, the cooperative will purchase your share back from you, for what you paid plus inflation. This ensures your capital does not shrink due to inflation, and the next owner/member will be able to purchase affordably as well.
We want to stop housing as an investment in our communities, as there are plenty of other investments available that don’t impact peoples’ access to affordable housing.
We plan to build the cooperative across Canada. Once you join, you will be able to move to any community, without having to leave the cooperative.
We will offer affordable rentals, a rent-to-own, and affordable-to-own options.

I’ve been trying to comment for a bit but it kept giving me an error message. Please put my name down as an interested buyer. I am not pleased to see the City stalling, that’s the last thing we need! If they continue to stall, what would it take to get a bunch of people together to buy property?
Sorry, we were having issues with our server. Hopefully it is addressed now.
We don’t have an interested buyers list for any development as yet. I’m reluctant to start one as I don’t want anyone to get their hopes up before we have something solid to offer. Being subscribed to our newsletter is your best option.
