The 1911 home at Quadra and Tattersall will be demolished to make way for townhouses
Abstract Developments cleared a hurdle Monday night in its quest to build a townhouse project in the Quadra and Tattersall area.
Coun. Karen Harper said there is a lot the district can do to preserve its heritage without having to maintain the building on the site. Councillors Judy Brownoff and Nathalie Chambers opposed removing the home from the registry. Brownoff suggested moving heritage buildings from where they were significant makes little sense.
When Abstract first conceived of the project in 2018, the goal was to wrap new townhomes around the original house. Since then Abstract has acquired the lots on either side of the heritage building, and has suggested the original concept is no longer feasible.
