Real Estate Acquisition
Emotional Attachment:
Many residents have a strong emotional attachment to their
homes, particularly if they have lived there for a long time or have
raised a family there. Selling one’s home to a developer may feel
like a loss of personal history and a significant change in lifestyle.
Cetana is in the process of securing 37 single-family homes,
where owners have lived for decades. Emotional attachment is a
considerable factor in the property acquisition phase.
Actual & Perceived Disruption to Community:
The sale of single-family homes to Cetana involves the
demolition of existing homes and the construction of up to 10
mixed-use residential lowrise and midrise buildings. This will
disrupt the character and community of the neighborhood,
including changes to traffic patterns and overall aesthetic. Add to
that, there is a clear division within Innisfil’s community that can
be characterized as the old generation and the new generation.
The old generation has a strong aversion to the growth and
development of the town.
