How Belleville Neighborhood Projects Evolved Over Recent Years
Groundbreakings and revised proposals in Belleville, IL and Belleville, ON trace back to planning steps that began in late 2022.
How we reported this
Belleville, IL marked another step in its In-Fill Project when crews broke ground at 24 Queensway in the Mariknoll Neighborhood on May 16, 2024.
Sequence of construction starts
The Kelsey, a six-story building with 114 units and ground-floor retail, began construction at 740-748 Washington Ave in Belleville, IL in December 2022 and carried an expected completion date of 2024. That project preceded the May 2024 groundbreaking by roughly 18 months and established a pattern of phased residential work within the city.
Revisions to subdivision plans
In Belleville, ON, the Hanley Park North Subdivision proposal was adjusted from an original 156 units to 74 single-detached homes and 29 townhouse units, for a total of 103 units, while retaining natural heritage features. A separate nine-story mixed-use building with residential and commercial space was put forward for rezoning at 25 Campbell Street in Belleville, ON.
Planning frameworks in place
Belleville, ON has conducted a Corridor Study to shape future development along Bell Boulevard and North Front Street as mixed-use areas with varied housing. These studies and the listed project revisions supply the documented record that led to the current set of neighborhood proposals.
City records list the May 16, 2024 date for the Queensway site and the December 2022 start for the Washington Ave building. The Hanley Park unit counts and the Campbell Street proposal appear in current development summaries. The Corridor Study remains the guiding document for the two named streets.
Residents can review the listed project details and study documents on the respective city planning pages to follow next steps for each site.
