A new senior’s living area could be coming to the City of Burlington but nothing is set in stone quite yet.
According to the City of Burlington, the city has received an application from Spruce Partners Inc. and Amico Properties Inc. (Amica) to change the Zoning and Official Plan designation for the property site. This change would allow for a senior’s living development with building heights of up to 17 storeys to be built.
The site property in question is 1157 – 1171 North Shore Blvd., in Ward 1.

The proposed senior’s living area would consist of a 17-storey building, a 12-storey building, and an 11-storey building, transitioning down to 2-storeys on the north side of the property site. There would be 475 suites in total with 180 staff members on site at any given time.
Breaking things down a little bit further, there would be 71 memory care units, 95 assisted living units, and 309 independent living units. There would be 220 parking spaces available underground, 145 of these spaces would be designated for staff and visitors leaving 75 spaces for residents.
