105 new units could be coming to Riverside.

A proposed six-storey, 105-unit apartment building at Wyandotte Street East and Watson Avenue has cleared another hurdle at Windsor’s Development and Heritage Standing Committee. It’s not a done deal yet, but it’s one more step forward for new housing in one of Windsor’s established neighbourhoods.

Quick Facts

• What: a proposed six-storey apartment building with 105 units
• Where: Wyandotte Street East and Watson Avenue, Riverside, Windsor, Ontario
• Status: cleared another step at the Development and Heritage Standing Committee

What We Know So Far

The project would add 105 apartment units in a six-storey building at the corner of Wyandotte Street East and Watson Avenue. It has now cleared another hurdle at the Development and Heritage Standing Committee as it moves through the City’s approval process.

Why This Matters for Riverside

This is the part I find most interesting as a real estate professional in Windsor-Essex.

Projects like this are worth watching because they add housing in established neighbourhoods where people already have access to shops, services and transit. Building where the infrastructure already exists is one of the most efficient ways for a city to grow.

More residents in an area also means more customers for the businesses along Wyandotte Street East. For retail and service owners on the corridor, new housing nearby can be a real boost.

The Bigger Question

The bigger question is how Windsor continues to add density while balancing parking, traffic and the character of existing neighbourhoods. Those concerns come up with almost every infill project, and how the City handles them will shape what Riverside looks like in the years ahead.

What Happens Next

The proposal still has steps to go through before construction could begin. We’ll keep watching it and share updates as it moves forward.
