When people converge on the fairgrounds next week to take in the B.C. Northern Exhibition, they’ll notice a large blue building southwest of Exhibition Park that wasn’t there last year.The 40-unit condominium complex is part of the Framework 22 development taking shape at the west end of 22nd Avenue. Built by Hayer Construction, it’s one of several multi-family housing developments that are changing the face of Prince George.
“It’s a great central area. People love this area for what it has to offer for convenience and also Mother Nature that surrounds it. That’s why infill projects like this are ideal, because it’s an established neighbourhood that people are comfortable with and that makes it more appealing, especially for an aging population that wants to be close to amenities.
Hayer said the 40-unit complex – a $10 million project on its own - should be finished some time early in the new year. Two- and three-bedroom units are now selling. Prices range from $385,000 to $430,000. “People now want to enjoy their summers and in wintertime just lock up and go and that seems to be appealing to a lot of people.”
