Peterborough 282 Aylmer Street | ?m | 8s | Ashburnham Realty | Lett Architects

"The applicant is proposing to construct an eight-storey, mixed-use building on the subject properties. The ground floor of the building will contain public amenity space to complement the Urban Park as well as multiple commercial units. Floors two through eight will contain 75 residential dwelling units."

This one is worth noting for sure - 75 units, EIGHT parking spaces, 3 of which are accessible. Ground floor includes a community room and restrooms for the new adjacent urban park, both to be owned and operated by the City of Peterborough, and 2 retail units. Renderings show a sign that says Montreal House, although I'm not sure if that's the name of the development or their way of showing retail signage for a cafe or something.

The site fronts Aylmer and has a pub with surface parking. It also includes 216 and 220 King. The building at 220 King has been demolished and the public parking lot at 216 King has been converted into an urban plaza/square type space which is the new home of a weekly farmer's market.

It is supposed to be an homage to the roots of the old building on site; explanation from KawarthaNow:

Originally called the Montreal House, the building at 282 Aylmer Street North was constructed in the 1850s and later became a residence for French Canadian lumbermen working the forests north of Peterborough under the ownership of a French Canadian named Joseph Brault. By the early 20th century, the Montreal House was under ownership of an English Canadian and its residents broadened to include workers in the major industries such as Canadian General Electric that had arrived in the city.
