Barriers of Entry to Build in Kingston:
- Queen’s University is surrounded by heritage-protected
2 storey residential neighbourhoods.
- Princess Street is the closest possible street
to develop a condo building.
- Altus Group construction cost guidelines
show Kingston 10% more costly than Toronto
- Kingston sits on top limestone bedrock.
Making any excavation very expensive for builders
- Heritage protection creates very few lots that
can be developed over time. The increased cost
of construction will also deter builders
from entering Kingston.
- This means each new building constructed will be
more valuable over the long term due to continued
shortage of supply and minimal competition
