Brock Student Housing on John Macdonell Street

In 2013 Brock Plaza Corporation engaged Quartek Group to provide planning, architectural, and engineering services for the planning and engineering approvals, design, and construction of a 4 storey, 24-unit, 86-bedroom apartment building at 49 John Macdonell. The building will be owned by Brock Plaza Corporation but is operated by Brock University, with the University entering into a long-term lease agreement. The building is intended to house graduate and international students from the Brock community.

Wilholme Drive

Quartek Group provided planning and engineering services for the creation of 3 flag lots at the rear of an existing oversized lot in the urban area of St. Catharines. Consistent with Places to Grow this project represented infill development and intensifi cation of lands already fully serviced. Due to site constraints, common with infill development, a site servicing brief was required as part of the consent and minor variance applications.

Ralph Piller River Lea Estates

The site is located along the Niagara River Parkway in the Town of Fort Erie. There is currently a dwelling on the site as well as an abandoned motel. The motel is to be demolished. While the development is outside the urban area, the zoning on the property was for a commercial use due to the motel. A zoning amendment was approved to convert the property to a residential zone which is a less intense use than the former commercial use.

Freeman Herbs Greenhouse Expansion

Quartek Group provided planning, civil engineering, and environmental planning services to Freeman Herbs for two separate projects to obtain approvals for greenhouse expansions in two municipalities. Freeman Herbs is the largest fresh herb producer in Canada and in the top five in North America.

Bethesda Niagara Corporate Office

Quartek Group Inc. has been retained by Bethesda Residential Holdings Inc. to provide planning, engineering and architectural design services for a new building to accommodate Bethesda’s Children’s programs. The new 2-storey building has an approximate gross floor area of 27,000 sq. ft. and provides offices, treatment facilities for clients including physiotherapy rooms, and a gymnasium. The exterior and interior finishes were carefully selected to meet the needs of the clients and their families to provide an environment that enhances the care and therapy services offered by Bethesda. The provision of natural lighting and energy efficiency of the building were important considerations in the final building design.

Cardiac Diagnostic Clinic – Dr. Goodarzi

The site is located along Main Street in the Historic Drummondville District and was one of the last remaining vacant sites along this street. In order to maximize the site for a new medical clinic, a minor variance application and planning consent was successfully completed to accommodate a shared driveway with the neighbouring site, and the construction of the building to the front lot line. The architecture reinstates the existing fabric of this area with a two storey structure that addresses and complements the street. Located in the Historic Drummondville area of Niagara Falls, this building project qualifies for the Community Improvement Plan (CIP) and financial incentives.
