Course owner says club is no longer financially viable and wants to partner with Minto Communities and Richcraft Homes to construct more than 1,500 homes on the 71-hectare property.
While nearly half of all homes trading hands in the capital sold for less than $400,000 in 2019, less than a third of all transactions last year were in that price bracket, agency says.
That's up slightly from 10 years ago but still well below the “affordability threshold” of 30 per cent, according to the new report from real estate search portal Point2.
More than 2,300 new rental units were added to the city’s inventory last year, yet the agency estimates that only about 890 of those were actually occupied.
Bayview Hospitality Group's plan calls for three apartment buildings and nearly 200 stacked dwelling units between the Kanata Golf and Country Club and the Kanata Centrum Shopping Centre.
