Owner confident he can sell contaminated Kitchener site

Plans to develop a long-neglected industrial property are in the works and will make the long-suffering neighbours of the dilapidated site "tremendously happy," says the real estate agent trying to sell the former Electrohome site.

"I can tell you right now there isn't any time being wasted. The focus is like 110 per cent on the property," said Adam Spylo, the son of the owner and the real estate agent handling the sale of the property at 152 Shanley St.

"We're very close to getting something done," said Andrew Spylo, a local real estate agent and landlord who bought the property in 1998 through a numbered company for which he is listed as the director.

Swift action on developing the site would be a major change, as the property has sat neglected for decades. Neighbours complain of bricks falling from the building, and the city has taken over sidewalk shovelling and grass cutting, adding those costs to the site's tax bill.
