Construction to start on waterfront hotel, condos

Thunder Bay residents can expect to see some work begin on the condos and hotel at Prince Arthur's Landing in the coming weeks.

The city has issued three conditional building permits for the structures, which Thunder Bay's chief building official said will allow the developer to do some preliminary work.

"They will allow the contractor to start driving piles there, pour concrete, get the foundations in place get his plumbing groundwork in place also on those three sites," Desmond Stolz said.

Stolz said the city will issue more building permits for the actual structures and components for the building in the coming months.

He added phasing in permits for large construction projects is common practice for the city.
