Kingston Development Site Permitting Up to 20 Storeys Sold to International Real Estate Developer

Rockwell Commercial is pleased to announce the successful sale of a significant redevelopment site located at 170 Colborne Street in Kingston, Ontario. This ± 1.42 acre site represents one of the largest student-focused redevelopment opportunities in Kingston and is expected to play a pivotal role in the continued growth of the Williamsville area and downtown Kingston as a whole. This transaction reflects the growing demand for modern housing in the heart of Kingston.

"We are thrilled to have facilitated the sale of such a prominent property," said Peter Kostogiannis, Broker of Record & President at Rockwell Commercial. "This project directly contributes to Kingston's ongoing efforts to address housing demand while fostering sustainable growth. We look forward to seeing the transformative impact this development will have on the community."

The site’s strategic location offers easy access to Queen’s University, Downtown Kingston, the student entertainment hub, restaurants, grocery, personal services and public transit options making it an ideal spot for residents seeking both convenience and connectivity. With Kingston experiencing rapid population growth and an increasing need for urban housing, this development is expected to attract a wide range of tenants and contribute to the local economy.

The sale was brokered by Rockwell Commercial and Cushman & Wakefield, who worked closely with both the buyer and seller to ensure a smooth and successful transaction. Co-listing broker, Scott Botting, said of the transaction, “given its location and the critical mass that this site can accommodate, we had several national and international developers express interest, with a desire to enter Kingston’s student housing market. We are thrilled that the buyer has acquired this site to add more housing in Kingston, which also allows the seller to eventually relocate to a more suitable facility."
