High-rise development proposed near Petrie Island

Jan. 22, 2026

A proposed high-rise development at the northeast corner of Jeanne d’Arc Blvd. and Tweddle Road near Petrie Island is nearing final approval.

Fontenn Planning + Design, working on behalf of the TRIM Road 1 Limited Partnership, has submitted a Site Plan Control application to build four high-rise towers – three along the north side of Jeanne d’Arc Blvd. between Tweddle Road and the Brigil’s Petrie’s Landing development, and one on the east side of Tweddle Road between Jeanne d’Arc Blvd. and the Petrie Island Marina.

The four podium-style high-rise towers range from 24 to 32 storeys, containing 1,257 dwelling units, commercial businesses on the ground floor, a pedestrian plaza and under-ground parking. The dwelling units would consist 310 one-bedroom, 608 one-bedroom plus a den, 334 two-bedroom and five three-bedroom units.

Although the site is already zoned high-density residential, the applicant is also asking for an amendment to establish the site as one lot for zoning purposes.
