| Project | Area | Status | Type | Scale | CRE Relevance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 Lower Union St | Downtown | Proposed | Mixed-use | ±116 units + approx. 980 SF commercial | The 5 Lower Union Street proposal would introduce new residential density and limited commercial space on a prominent waterfront site. Its waterfront trail extension and proximity to downtown could strengthen pedestrian connections, support nearby businesses, and enhance the commercial appeal of Kingston’s harbour area. |
| 5-7 Cataraqui St | Inner Harbour | Proposed | Residential | ±184 units | The proposed apartment building would increase residential density near Kingston’s Inner Harbour, potentially supporting demand for nearby retail, restaurants and services. Together with the northern townhouse component, the development would broaden local housing options and bring additional households to the Cataraqui Street area. |
| 10 Cataraqui St | Inner Harbour | Under Construction | Mixed-use | 84 units + approx. 969 SF commercial | The 84-unit development would add residential density near Kingston’s waterfront, potentially increasing demand for nearby retail and services. The earlier submission includes approximately 969 SF of ground-floor commercial space, creating a leasing opportunity within the area, subject to confirmation in the revised plans. |
| 64 Barrack St | Downtown, Inner Harbour | Proposed | Mixed-use | ±344 units + approx. 2,690 SF commercial | The 64 Barrack Street proposal would introduce a high-density mixed-use tower near Kingston’s downtown and waterfront, adding 344 residential units and ground-floor commercial space to a central urban location. The project could support increased pedestrian activity, strengthen nearby retail and service demand, and reinforce ongoing intensification within the downtown core. |
| 80 Johnson Street | Downtown | Proposed | Multi-residential | ±20 units | The conversion of 80 Johnson Street would return a vacant downtown office property to active use while adding 20 residential units near established shops, services, and employment. It also reflects the growing repositioning of older commercial buildings in response to changing office demand. |
| 105 Queen St & 90-96 Barrack St | Downtown, Inner Harbour | Proposed | Mixed-use | ±536 units + approx. 39,000 SF commercial | This proposal represents one of the most significant mixed-use redevelopment projects proposed in Downtown Kingston, replacing an underutilized commercial site with 536 purpose-built rental apartments while preserving nearly 3,623 m² (39,000 sq. ft.) of commercial space anchored by a returning Staples store. The project would substantially increase the downtown residential population, supporting retail demand, restaurants, and service-oriented businesses while reinforcing Queen Street, Bagot Street, and Barrack Street as active commercial corridors. For commercial real estate stakeholders, the development signals continued confidence in Kingston's urban core, strengthens the long-term customer base for surrounding businesses, and reflects the ongoing trend toward high-density, mixed-use intensification in the Downtown and Harbour Area. |
| 170 Colborne St | Williamsville | Proposed | Mixed-use | ±349 units + approx. 2,303 SF commercial | The 170 Colborne Street proposal would add significant residential density near the downtown core, with ground-floor commercial space contributing to a more active pedestrian environment along Colborne and Division. The project could support nearby retail and service demand while reinforcing the continued intensification of Kingston’s inner urban neighbourhoods. |
| 229 Princess St | Downtown | Proposed | Mixed-use | The proposed redevelopment would add residential density along Princess Street while retaining a commercial component. Additional households could support nearby shops, restaurants and services, with potential leasing opportunities subject to confirmation of the commercial layout and floor area. |
