61% of KHUV includes the restoration & reuse of buildings; together with new builds, delivering 62 homes in a range of studios, 1-3 bed apartments, townhouses, and duplexes.

18% – 10,044K SF – is devoted to commercial, with c.5,022K SF available as affordable workspace.

Phase 1 will start with repairs to 17-21 Hockey Hill – home to 1913-built, Gem Buildings (17-19), a Grade II building; and to 1824-built, Harry Smith building (20-21).

The site will then be transformed into 16 lofts & duplexes to Gem Buildings; with Harry Smith retaining its commercial, with 6 homes above.
