A brand-new residential project is on the horizon in Orléans, and if you’re a homeowner, investor, or simply someone who loves keeping up with the evolution of our city, this is one you’ll want to watch. Located on Orléans Boulevard in the open field near the Independent Grocer and essentially beside the Rexall, this proposed development is set to bring modern, low-rise rental townhomes to the area—blending contemporary design with much-needed housing options.
The Vision for 1615 Orleans Boulevard
This new development is more than just another apartment complex; it’s a carefully planned residential community. The proposal, submitted in early 2023, outlines a total of 60 back-to-back townhomes arranged across four blocks. Designed with a sleek, modern aesthetic, these homes will integrate seamlessly into the surrounding neighborhood while offering fresh, contemporary living spaces.
What Makes This Project Stand Out?
One of the most exciting aspects of this development is its focus on enhancing the urban landscape. The plan prioritizes pedestrian-friendly spaces, green areas, and a well-thought-out connection to the surrounding commercial amenities. Situated at the corner of Jeanne D’Arc Boulevard and Orléans Boulevard, the site is within walking distance of grocery stores, parks, schools, and transit options—making it a prime location for families, professionals, and renters looking for convenience and accessibility.
Why This Matters for Orleans
As the demand for housing continues to rise, especially in suburban areas like Orléans, projects like this are crucial for meeting the needs of our growing community. With a zoning designation that allows for mixed-use development, this site was a natural fit for residential expansion. The addition of 60 rental units will provide more options for those looking to move into the area while also increasing property values for homeowners nearby.
What’s Next?
As of now, the project is still in the Site Plan Control phase. That means final approvals and potential modifications are still in progress.
