Tricar Group to Build New 12-Storey Highrise.

From Paul Morden, Sarnia Observer.

A new 12-storey high-rise apartment building could begin going up soon at the corner of London Road and Christina Street in Sarnia.

Mayor Mike Bradley said he met last week with representatives of London-based Tricar Group who indicated they are moving ahead with what will be the company’s third high-rise residential project in that area of the city.

The new 12-storey building is expected to have 126 rental units and the company wants to begin construction in May, Bradley said.

Last week, crews were carrying out soil testing on the site directly next to Water’s Edge, one of two residential towers Tricar built in recent years along Front Street.

“There are a few issues to be dealt with,” including possible soil remediation and “minor zoning relief,” Bradley said.

He said the project 'has been contemplated for some time' and that he has met with Tricar officials a few times over the years.

Last week’s meeting included Tricar owner Joe Carapella, along with members of his staff.

“He wants to get going,” Bradley said.

“They’re ready to move in May, and it would bring another couple of hundred people into the downtown core.”
