Does anyone know anything about the apartments that were being built behind Lyons’s transmission or who was building them?

They are actually condos. A realtor may have more information. There is another row of them to be built soon

The company (Evergreen) went bankrupt. This is the second time the city got screwed by this company but Council likes egg in their faces. A lot of home owners on Kelsey Bay went to a City Council meeting to have the construction stopped as they were going to make an “emergency” exit onto Kelsey Bay. The so called councillors at the time mostly voted in favor of the construction and one councillor said the Kelsey Bay people were wasting Council’s time with this. This company left quite a mess devaluing Kelsey Bay property.

If anyone got the short end of the stick here, it's the investors. A development was approved with conditions, then the developer started building, didn't pay any of the contractors the lenders take the land back and the developer leaves. A new developer takes over, pays off any debts and finishes the development.  
 
Or do you think that council should have the power to see into the pockets of each developer to determine if they are fiscally responsible before approving a development?

As I said, this was a second time the city approved a development from Evergreen. If it was botched the first time, why approve another one? Didn’t the people involved do investigations?

Just a shame that they have been sitting empty for years.  
I wonder what the conditions are inside, if they will have to be all redone. So many people looking for apartments and there is one empty. Sad

Lives next to it. If it’s not full of mold I would be surprised.

If the apartments are unfinished and no one has lived in them, I can't imagine the water would be turned on. How would there be mold?

Need water lines to have mold. It sat forever without siding or even wrap. The wood was pretty much black in colour by the time the siding went on. There was also a broken window on the second floor from the only tree he didn’t cut down. He screwed a lot of people including all the people that put deposits down on the condos.
