Construction Maison

Back in July 2015, we announced a new project, 351 South Jackson Street by Gables Residential , proposed near the recently completed 360 South Monroe project . However, 351 South Jackson Street is the third and final phase Gables has planned for this area and we never covered the second phase. If you have been around Colorado Boulevard and Alameda Avenue recently, you may have noticed a tower crane and busy construction site . This is the project site for the second phase, named Gables Cherry Creek II . To better orient you, here is an aerial with the project site outlined . Gables Cherry Creek II will feature 140 apartment units contained in an eight-story building.

The cozy Gîte de l'Artiste Perron is St-Sauveur's newest B&B. Courtesy of Gîte de l'Artiste Perron Raymonde Perron wants you to do more than simply sleep and eat at her new B&B in St-Sauveur. She wants to you have a sensory experience. Perron is an artist and art teacher, and the Gîte de l’Artiste Perron is her gallery. You can gaze at canvases of flora and wetlands, and study the genre she calls “expressive realism.” The Lower Laurentians’ newest B&B is on a quiet, tree- lined residential street less than two kilometres from the centre of St-Sauveur. Perron and her husband, Jean-Marc Houle, transformed the lower- level bachelor apartment of their fieldstone bungalow into a getaway including two guest rooms with queen-size beds, plus a smaller room for children. Everything was rebuilt from scratch — floors, walls, ceilings, electricity and heating — so it’s fresh and inviting. The house is surrounded by hydrangeas, cherry trees, evergreens and Japanese lilac...
