The Current Building PhaseS

Land Development

Preparing the site requires careful excavation of earth and rock to make way for construction. As grading continues, we are putting excavated rock and earth to good use by repurposing materials directly on-site. This approach not only reduces waste but will also significantly cut down on traffic affecting local roads.

Building Construction, Landscaping, And Finishes

Construction has begun on the first permanent buildings on the site including the parking garage and the residence buildings. Permanent landscaping has also started in many areas of the site in order to prevent erosion and to provide beautification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this project impact traffic on Sterling Mine Road?

Building a facility of this size will naturally have an effect on the local roads and community. However, during these major construction phases, we will do everything we can to minimize the impact on the community and regular updates will be communicated.

When will the project be completed?

Phase 1 was planning approval, which has been completed. We are currently in Phases 2 and 3 of the project. Phase 2 commenced in earnest in the early part of 2025 and Phase 3 in late 2025. This last phase includes building construction, landscaping, and finishes, and has an estimated duration of 38 months.
