Andrew Peller Limited Obtains Approval to Proceed With Property Development Plan

  • 63

GRIMSBY, Ontario, July 29, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Andrew Peller Limited ADW.A/ADW.B (“APL” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that following a Public Hearing on July 23rd, the City Council of Port Moody, BC gave 3rd Reading and Approval to amend the zoning By-law for the Company’s five-acre site and the City’s Official Community Plan, which will pave the way for a Comprehensive Development project.

This site was the location of the Company’s first winery opened by Andrew Peller in 1961.  Winery operations ceased in 2006 and production was moved to Kelowna following the company’s acquisition of Calona Wines that year. 

The Company has continually reported that this site was being held for development.  In 2012 the Company reported that the Provincial Authority Translink had expropriated the property for a five-year term to facilitate the construction of the Evergreen Transit Line in Port Moody.

On July 9th, 2019, the City Council of Port Moody gave 1st and 2nd reading of the proposed By-Law Amendments and then following a Public Hearing on July 23rd, the Council gave approval for Comprehensive Development on the Company’s five-acre location.

The proposed community plan will cover a site area of approximately 217,000 square feet and will feature 10 mixed-use buildings, including a boutique hotel, condo and rental residential units, retail and commercial units, light industrial spaces and medical and arts centers.  The Company will now begin the process of finding development partners and investors to facilitate the completion of the project.
