This process of up-cycling old spaces makes it easier and cheaper to secure housing in any market. Part of Indwell's plan for affordable housing is to take old and unused spaces like churches and hotels and completely overhaul them and turn them into livable apartment buildings. Both of the Kitchener locations are old churches that have been renovated and converted into living spaces. Indwell is currently in eight other municipalities, having two other locations in Kitchener St. The fire-damaged hotel was listed for sale earlier this year for just under $1 million. The total construction cost to renovate the hotel is unknown due to the early stages in planning. “Our goal is to convert that into supportive and affordable housing units for the city of Cambridge.” “We actually just recently purchased the property,” said Mark Willcock, community engagement coordinator for Indwell. The group has just obtained the property on King Street and is currently in the development phase. The new owner, Indwell, is a Christian charity group that provides affordable housing and wrap-around services to its tenants. The hotel was being used as apartments at the time of the fire and several people were displaced because of it. The old Grand River Hotel in Preston is rising from the ashes being renovated and converted to serve the community and its most vulnerable people.Īfter a devastating fire three years ago at the nearly 200-year-old building, the new owner has big plans to transform the once prominent Preston hotel into supportive and affordable housing units.
