The response to Canterbury Common has been so great that officials with Quorum Develop- ment Corporation, the develop- ers of the project, are contem- plating pushing ahead the schedule of its housing project in Port Perry. The company is planning to build a 248-unit adult lifestyle retirement subdivision at Re- gional Roads 8 and 2 in Port Perry, the site of the former Brooks Farm. Plans had originally called for 96 of the 248 detached and townhouse units to be built by the fall of this year. But accord- ing to Quorum president Mark Dawson, the schedule for devel- opment may be alterred. Under the new plan, Mr. Dawson said they are consider- ing combining phases one and two of the project for a total of 185 lots. The second phase of homes would not be delivered until the fall of 1995, however. If this were to occur, Mr. Daw- son expects the entire 248-unit project to be completed i in half the estimated six-year period. "We're probably twice as far ahead as we thought we'd be," he said. In the past week, Quorum has hosted two information sessions --one in Port Perry and another in Scarborough in which more than 1,100 people attended. Approximately 23 units were purchased in Port Perry and an- other six in Scarborough. Ten to 12 more are expected to be pur- chased this week. To date more than 40 homes have been sold, far exceeding the anticipated 45 in 1994. Even more impressive is the fact that these units were sold before the model homes have been built. Ground was broken last week on the property to construct these model homes. The plans call for a 248-unit recreational community on 125 acres of land overlooking Lake Scugog. Officials believe the commu- nity will be attractive to active retirees and those preparing for retirement due to its lifestyle benefits which includes a nine- hole, 36-par golf course and country club. The golf course is expected to be ready for use in 1996. Despite all the amenities the development has to offer, Mr. Dawson said the number draw- ing card is the location. "It's Port Perry that's the draw, it's not the development. The development just happens to fit perfectly in the town." Mr. Dawson said many have expressed an interest in getting out of the Metropolitan Toronto area and the problems involved in a big city and believe Port Perry is the place to be. The developers felt Port Perry was the place to be as well. They looked at a number of areas, but felt "the only place that fit was Port Perry." "It's an ideal spot for this kind of project," he said noting the first class hospital, friendlier oe of life and proximity to the ake. Mr. Dawson also praised the local council for making the de- velopment a reality. "They've been an ally and have really supportedit." Mayor Howard Hall, who at- tended these information ses- sions, also noted an overwhelm- ing response to the project and the development. "People were commenting that they were in a rural area, but close enough to Port Perry." They also noted the other amenities of the town including the hospital, vibrant downtown and related attractions as draw- ing cards. And this response is nothing but positive news for the com- munity, Mayor Hall said as it continues to grow and prosper, becoming more attractive for in- dustry.
