A development company is propos- ing to build a 120-unit retirement resi- dence on the former Holy Cross church property on Maple Ave. Town of Halton Hills Manager of De- velopment Review, Planning, Develop- ment and Sustainability Adam Farr said the Rockport Group plans to take down the church on the 2.35-acre property and has filed an application with the Town of Halton Hills seeking an Official Plan and zoning bylaw amendments to allow for the six-storey building. The application is currently being reviewed by various agencies and the Town. Tatiana DiGiacinto, development manager with the Rockport Group, said the proposed residence is to have both independent living and assisted living floors and offer one and two-bedroom suite rental units. It would provide the appropriate support for the level of care residents need, but it would not offer long-term care, she said. There is to be a memory care floor (a lock-down unit) to keep the residents safe. BayBridge Senior Living, which op- erates a similar residence in Union- ville called The Marleigh Retirement Residence, is to be the operator of the Georgetown building. It will operate "almost like a cruise ship," said DiGiacinto. There will be activities for residents and a large dining room where they congregate for meals. DiGiacinto said there are to be amenity spaces, a dem- onstration kitchen, craft rooms, a the- atre, greenhouse, a bistro, and she be- lieves there also will be an indoor pool. A total of 74 parking spaces are pro- posed for the site. Residents won't be able to cook in the suites, but they will have kitchen- ettes where she said they could make tea and warm up food. "You don't have to cook when you move here, you get to go downstairs and socialize," said DiGiacinto. She said the residence would offer those who live there "the best of the re- tirement years without worrying about all the business of taking care of the home." She added it would provide peace of mind, because someone would always be checking in on the residents. Rockport Group bought the former church property earlier this year. Di- Giacinto said the site has great proxim- ity to amenities and offers an "amazing creek side." Farr said a public meeting on the ap- plication will likely be held in the new year.
