Following our recent post on the proposed Century Condos development by DeSantis in downtown Grimsby, we received an email from Mr. John Ariens, Associate Director and Planner with IBI group on behalf of the developer, requesting that we share it with the community.

The community has been asking a lot of questions about what is happening with the downtown property at Main Street and Elm, next to “Beyond the Barre” across from the TD Bank.
This property was purchased by DeSantis (in addition to a few other properties abutting it) and fencing and a large sign was recently erected advertising “Coming Soon – Century Condos”.
The fire trucks are long gone but for those who live or have businesses in Downtown Grimsby, things are not as they used to be.
With a part of westbound Main Street still closed to vehicular traffic, the temporary move of the Market to the Peach King Centre, coupled with people being on summer holidays… businesses are still being impacted by the aftermath of the downtown fire.

Here are some of the photos we took downtown this afternoon of the aftermath of the fire. It was quite an unsettling scene and eerily quiet, given what a regular Friday afternoon in the downtown area would normally be like.
Subsequent to yesterdays’s fire downtown that we wrote about here, the Town held two meetings this morning at Town Hall. The first of these meetings was for downtown residents impacted by the fire and the second meeting for downtown businesses being impacted.

Parts of Downtown Grimsby became engulfed in flames this afternoon after a fire broke out in a building near the corner of Elm and Main Street. Details are still emerging, but it appears that the fire began in the rear of a building on the southwest corner of the intersection.
