Affordable housing project nears completion in Kincardine

The Kincardine Housing Build is a major initiative in the 2020-2021 Human Services Business Plan that is nearing completion.

The project includes 35 community housing units (25 one-bed units, 6 two-bed units, and 4 three-bed units) and an office ‘hub’ for Human Services.

The office portion of the build is complete, including the flexible Pine River Meeting Room. The residential apartments are now substantially complete, with minor finishing paint touchups remaining. The exterior of the building is complete and the finishing landscaping and hydro-seeding is nearing completion.

County Staff moved into the office in mid-February 2021. The move of existing tenants from surplus buildings began in mid-May. Staff are in the process of making offers of the balance of the units to households on the Bruce County Community Housing Registry and move-ins will be staggered through to July.
