Wandless, city planning director, says that pnor to 1963 single family dwelling starts exceeded apartment unit starts by a ratio of 2-1o-1 and greater. In 1964 the ratio was 1-to-1 and in 1965 the ratio was. almost 2-to-1 in starts. A scarcity of mortgage money in 1966 has slowed the boom to some degree but the demand for and the construction of new buildings will undoubiedly con- tinue, In 1965 all records were de- molished as 1,082 apartment units were constructed. About 1,000 apariment suites are located in this "'apartment village" in the Gibb-Grenfell Sis. area of the city, southeast of the Oshawa Shopping Centre. The apariment development in this area has been carried on for about the Jast five years and indicates the iremendous apartment building boom dur- ing the 1960's. Im 1963, building penmits were issued by the city for 526 apart- ment units (duplexes and up); in 1964, permits for 698 mul- tiple-family units were and in 1965 permits for a whop- ping 1,193 units were issued. "The value of year amounted to approximate- ly $7.5 million of which a tax yield of some $250,000 can be expected,' said Mr. Wandless. The planning director said 672 single family dwellings; 102 du- plex and dual dwellings; and 1,082 apariment units (28 apart- ment buildings) were construct- ed in Oshawa during 1965. The total number of dwelling wnits constructed, 1,856, re- quired a total of 202 acres of land of which the apartment units required 26 acres. Three apartment buildings containing a total of about 270 suites are located in the Oxford St. - Malaga'Rd. area, east of the General Motors Lid. south plant. Construction of the apart- ment complex started about two years ago and more is to come. Two, 10-storey apariment buildings containing an addi- tional 250 suites will be built in the immediate area.
