Tim Banks says some of the old Holland College building in Summerside may be preserved.
The owners of the old Holland College property on Granville Street in Summerside, P.E.I intend to develop a portion of it.
The APM group plans to build a 10,000 square foot mini-mall on the property's front corner. A large, derelict brick building that dominates the seven- hectare property will remain as is for now.
The owners have been trying for years to find a use for it. APM president Tim Banks told CBC News Tuesday it may eventually be partially or fully demolished.
SUMMERSIDE - Company CEO Tim Banks said the project involves an approximately 10,000 square foot building that will be the home to retail and food operations.
“It is an exciting project because we are putting a building up and we’re going to have three new tenants in it and we’re going to start developing that old Holland College property,” he said.
Banks said the project will be situated in the parking lot area but will evolve into the entire parcel being developed.
