Gottingen Terrace, the affordable housing project planned for the
old Sobeys site on Gottingen Street, across from the North Branch
Library, is alive and well, says Grant Wanzell, president of the
Creighton/Gerrish Development Association, the non-profit organization
behind the development. The recession has slowed the housing industry
everywhere, “but we’re doing much better than the private sector,” says
Wanzell, pictured above. About a quarter of the 48 units have been
pre-sold. People with household incomes as low as $33,000 can buy into
the project.
Earlier this year, Wanzell had expressed hope that construction
could start as soon as this fall, but now he’s hoping for the spring.
Prospective buyers can contact him at 789-2432.
