New vision for old Shell station land revealed

Council last week received a report from Kyle Rainbow, director of development services, that included concept drawings showing what the intersection of Brock Street West and Spruce Street could look.

Rainbow's report said township staff worked with H.Bee Architecture to produce renderings which would "seamlessly blend the historical charm of Uxbridge with contemporary design."

The drawings show the possibility of five-storey buildings at the intersection, containing retail and residential units. Rainbow stressed the visualizations are a way to let potential developers know what Uxbridge is looking for as it proceeds with its downtown revitalization.
