Grain Elevator - Gentrified!

Where once millions of bushels of grain were housed, a condo developer is planning to shoehorn in two condo towers, surrounded on water by three sides, with each unit from $400K to $1 million. Typical of such schemes, there are lots of artist's drawings and surprisingly, five site drone views (top photo). The two buildings will be built on the main pier, and a breakwater is visible in foreground. The breakwater was intended to protect the small west-side marina from ice action in winter, but it was destroyed by that same ice. The site was formerly occupied by Kingston's Canada Steamship Lines grain elevator, demolished in June, 1988.

Looking more like Marina Del Rey, occupants will likely never go outside. The 'stank' from the shallow sandy bay and nearby turning basin and former Anglin dock alongside Lake Ontario Park will keep them inside during the hot summer months.

That's not a parking lot, that's a marina (above)! Power boats, not grain boats, will come to call. Figure in taxes and monthly condo fees of $300+, and the fact that the site plan has not been approved yet, and this looks like Toronto-type speculation right here in the Limestone City.
