We’re excited to share continued progress on-site at Summersides Retirement Residence in Fonthill.

Foundation work is nearing completion.
Structural steel installation has begun in the north and east basement areas, an exciting milestone as the building begins to take shape.
The swimming pool walls are now complete, and backfilling is progressing alongside the foundation work.

Every milestone brings us closer to delivering a thoughtfully designed residence where comfort, care, and community come together. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue building something truly special.

Last week we spent 3 days running 8 focus groups for some of the many seniors interested in Summersides Retirement Residence.
It was a wonderful experience for our team, and based on the engagement and the Thank-You notes we received it was also a very positive experience for our guests.

Frank Giannone, president of FRAM + Slokker, who has been running focus groups for years, lead and moderated the meetings. He did a wonderful job sharing information but also encouraging our participants to provide feedback and tell us their wants and needs.

Nick Colamartini, Vice President, and the entire Mountainview Building Group hosted the eight (8!!) meetings over the 3 days in their head office, made everyone comfortable and had great tech to ensure we capture all the thoughts and ideas raised at the meetings.

We came out of these sessions with some new ideas for the next buildings to be built as part of the Summersides community, and with a great confidence that there is a very large group of people waiting for them to be built.

In beautiful weather, and in the presence of the community, public officials, owners and friends, as well as some fifty of our future residents, we celebrated the launch of construction.

Construction is officially underway at Summersides Retirement Residence in Fonthill! 🎉

This past Wednesday’s Ribbon Cutting Ceremony marked an exciting milestone for this new upscale retirement community, set to redefine senior living in Niagara.

Thank you to all who joined us to celebrate this milestone moment. Summersides Retirement Residence is set to open in 2027.
