The new owner of the Port Credit Post Office - will not be able to build retail shops and offices in the building if the municipality designates this building as a Heritage Property.
The development firm that owns the site (Centre City Capital) is planning to put retail shops on the lower levels with office space above that. They are planning to work with the city's planning and heritage departments (as well as the citizens of the community) to develop a design that complements the 1931 original structure.
The Post office building has been described as a "rare example of public Edwardian Classicism.....that demonstrates the work of significant Canadian architects."
Once the development firm comes back with a heritage study, the committee will go forward with a decision around Heritage designation.
