Connell Road landmark to be demolished

Promises Christian Book Store

A familiar structure in a prominent location will be dismantled to allow for the development of a new commercial building. Demolition is currently underway at 389 Connell Street, the former location of Promises Christian Book Store. It is unclear when the building was constructed, but it also has been home to Crandlemire Auto Brokers, Jumbo Video, Shur-Gain Feeds & Needs, and David Alward's campaign headquarters in the 2010 provincial election. PatLen Properties Ltd. will be constructing a modern two-storey, 13,000 square foot professional building on site.

The new commercial building will have many benefits, such as great visibility, prominent signage, easy access to and from the Trans-Canada Highway, a short distance to downtown Woodstock, close proximity to major retail stores and restaurants, lots of parking, and stairs and an elevator for second floor access. 

Construction is expected to begin later this summer. Office space is available for lease-contact Andrew Lenehan at 325-8176 to inquire.
