Sakto Corporation Welcomes Gladstone Village Plans to Little Italy

OTTAWA, Ontario, Aug. 8, 2017 /CNW/ -- Sakto Corporation, a real estate development and property management firm based in Ottawa's Little Italy, welcomes plans for the mixed-income development being called Gladstone Village.

"Sakto Corporation's mixed-use development in Preston Square with retail, residential, and office is based in the heart of Little Italy, minutes away from the proposed Gladstone Village," said President and CEO of Sakto Corporation Sean Murray. "This new community and school will increase foot traffic and bring visitors to an already vibrant and growing Ottawa neighborhood." Preston Square is home to many  local businesses, and popular eateries including Heart and Crown, Kiko Sushi Bar, Salt, and Starbucks.    

Gladstone Village, acquired by the Ottawa Community Housing Corporation for $7 million on May 11, will be Ottawa's first mixed-income development combining affordable and subsidized housing with market-value homes. The village will include not only residential but commercial, retail, and green spaces for the community.

The prospect of a French public school embedded into Gladstone Village creates potential for growth to Little Italy. The Conseil des écoles publiques de l'Est de l'Ontario (CEPEO) currently has plans to open a school in Gladstone Village in five years.

Gladstone Village is predicted to be a dense neighborhood with ample transportation opportunities via the future Gladstone LRT station located next to Gladstone Village, adjacent to Gladstone Avenue. The LRT line will greatly increase the ease of travel throughout Ottawa bringing neighborhoods together with the speed of light rail.
