Project Overview

Weston Park Development

Castlepoint Weston Limited Partnership is pleased to announce the redevelopment of the lands at 1871, 1879 and 1885 Weston Road, the Weston Park Baptist Church and the former Scotiabank building properties. This redevelopment is a joint partnership between the Weston Park Baptist Church and Castlepoint Numa.

We aim to revitalize the site by creating a mixed-use development which will support the existing church spaces and programs while introducing a variety of new uses, including community, residential and commercial/retail uses.

The key elements of this proposal include significant community space, heritage conservation, public open space at grade, and transit-oriented development.

We anticipate the following milestones will be reached

  • Preparation of preliminary project concept design

  • Financial feasibility review of the project concept design to confirm viability

  • Finalize preliminary project concept design

2021

  • Virtual public meeting and circulation of preliminary concept design to the Weston community and stakeholders for feedback and revise plan to respond to feedback
