A grain terminal is being transformed into a hotel and residential building in Collingwood. Originally constructued in 1929, it was used to store Canada’s grain for 64 years until it ceased operation in 1993.
Windows will be installed into the concrete exterior to add natural light and massive repairs will occur on the roofing and structure. It is planned that the tubular silos will serve as hotel rooms and the grain storage bin will become a public area with a terrace and restaurant. The project is being led by Streetcar Developments and Dream Unlimited Corp.
