Seniors complex nearing completion

Kenora’s newest housing development is almost ready for occupancy.

The 56-unit seniors complex has been under construction for about two years.

Henry Wall is Chief Administrative Officer of the Kenora District Services Board and says the building should be ready by the end of next month.

“Our substantial completion date is February 28th of 2025,” Wall told Kenora city council during a presentation on Tuesday.

“All the suites are finished.  Sometimes they need the final coat of paint.”

Wall adds they don’t want to have a waiting list for the new housing too early.

“We were quite worried about having a wait list, where people are going to start making life-altering decisions… sell their homes.  Now that we know all the big unknowns, I think we can start having a wait list.”

Wall says because of the warm weather in the fall, they were able to complete paving around the building, but other landscaping will be done in the spring.
