The land at Valois Village has been vacant for years and the city has long had plans to revitalize the area and bring a fresh look for the neighbourhood.
Some residents argue the condos don’t fit the look of the rest of the village and the area should be turned into a space for local shops.
Others welcome the change, insisting the dilapidated area is in great need of a makeover and could be good for families who want to live in the area, but can’t afford a single-family home.
Construction on the first tower is scheduled this fall, with a delivery date by the end of 2018.
