Artist’s concept
What it was
The plaza everyone drove past.
125 Stewart Boulevard had the shape every small city recognises: a big-box plaza losing tenants, parking outgrowing purpose, four hundred metres from the 401’s ramps on the corridor into downtown.
It also had everything we underwrite for: two schools within a kilometre, the county’s administration nearby, 448,000 square feet of employment across the road, sixty-five thousand vehicles a day. The town was already here. The plaza just wasn’t built for it.
The Core
Seventy thousand square feet of second chances.
The anchor was a paintball facility. Rather than chase a replacement that doesn’t exist in a market this size, we subdivided — more doors, stronger rent per foot, more rentable area.
Programmed around four ideas: Active, Well, Create, Gather. Soccer and pickleball, axe throwing, arts studios, event space, and the town’s carnivals.

Where it stands
Open. Approved. Under construction.
The industry blurs these three words. We won’t.
| Status | On the ground |
|---|---|
| Open today | The Core · Dairy Queen · The Beer Store · Valvoline · Papa John’s · 401 Barber Shop · Tesla charging · community health and service tenants |
| Approved & ahead | 320 homes in four phases (first construction start May 2027) · central park (target 2028) · transit terminal build-out — two of the city’s three bus lines already stop on site |
| Under construction | Taco Bell drive-through (opening 2026) · new pylon signage on the corridor |
The homes
Three hundred and twenty, in four phases.
Mixed-income rental first, condominiums last, on eighteen-month builds. Two tiers of below-market rent — twenty and forty per cent below market — through a partnership with the county, integrated in the same buildings as market homes.
Schedule as at August 2026. Home counts subject to final approvals.
| Phase | Homes | Construction start |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | 54 | May 2027 |
| Phase 2 | 76 | May 2029 |
| Phase 3 | 80 | May 2031 |
| Phase 4 | 110 · condominiums | May 2033 |

The point
A village, not a phase plan.
The Core opened before a single home was built, because a neighbourhood needs somewhere to meet before it needs anything else. The park sits at the centre of the plan for the same reason. Stewart Village is our proof that community-first isn’t a slogan — it’s a sequencing decision.
