Breaking Ground!

The Suites on St. Stephen big dig has begun as builders lay a secure foundation.  

Bayside Builders and Vista Properties president, Peter Brown, was on location for the first sweep.  

"It was a ground-breaking event!" He quipped.  

But then, much more seriously, he added, "This is the first step in the creation of a whole new 'downtown apartment' concept for Summerside.  We plan on setting the 'green trend' and hope that the Suites' energy efficient design will keep down costs for Islanders this winter."

Also, Peter foresees the Suites on St. Stephen will be attractive to Islanders returning home after years away in places like Calgary or Ontario as well as empty-nesters or retirees looking to spend the winter in town.  "Our market is anyone who wants the convenience of downtown living, a property manager you can trust taking care of your maintenance, and such incredible cost-cuts on the energy side.  It's Summerside at your fingertips!  We think this appeals to both Islanders and those from away."

 

"We're trying something new," Peter said.  "We're inviting Islanders to try out traditional housing in an innovative package.  We're pretty sure of a complete success."

But everything begins with a good foundation, of course, which companies are laying as you read!
