The 12 residential buildings also accommodate amenities such as the community’s clubhouse, resort-style pool and fitness center.

Retreat at Schillinger’s 270 units feature one to three-bedroom floor plans and facilities including fitness centre, cinema and dog park.

Renovation plans for both properties are scheduled to commence immediately and will include improvements to landscaping and exteriors, upgraded amenity packages and interior renovations to further modernize and enhance kitchen, lights and flooring.
